Published by Krause Publications, 1996. hardcover, illustrated, index, 429 pages, 22.2 cms x 28.5 cms x 2.6 cms, condition: new.
The book chronicles the history of North America's best-selling over and under gun. Ned Schwing offers serial numbers, sales figures, and total number sold by gauge with rare photos and official company records.
Belgian-produced over-and-under shotgun introduced to the United States two years after the Great Depression, in 1931. Despite its original high cost, it was regarded as a fine and valuable weapon by both shooting competitors and hunters. The Superposed introduced a wide variety of innovations including the single select trigger and over-under design. This design was considered revolutionary in the 1930s, but Browning had patents on the design long before that, as far back as 1923
Schwing's "Browning Superposed" is one of the best gun books that I've ever read (and I've read quite a few). Interesting and beautiful, it provides an extraordinary amount of historical and technical detail, along with extensive high-quality photography documenting hundreds of wood and engraving patterns. I was introduced to this book by Angelo Bee, the famed engraver from FN in Belgium, who uses it as a primary reference source. This book helped me to "design" a customized Superposed, and it's also been a much-appreciated gift to a couple of my shooting friends. I wish I'd bought my copy several years ago at the original price, and it's unfortunate that it hasn't been reissued -- but even at today's much-higher secondary market prices (typically $250-300 on Amazon for a hardcover in nice condition), this book is a good investment if you have a serious interest in these classic shotguns. I don't mean to sound like a shill, but it is truly the Bible of the Browning Superposed: if you can afford it, you won't regret it!
