Belgian Browning Superposed P2 20 Gauge Shotgun – 26.5" Barrels, Baerten Engraved, 1977

This Belgian Browning Superposed P2 is the kind of over-under that immediately stands apart from ordinary field guns. Manufactured in 1977 and signed by master engraver J. Baerten, it combines elegant Belgian craftsmanship with collectible Browning pedigree. The game-scene engraving is the headline feature here, with quail on one side, pheasants on the other, and a pointer on the underside, all framed by fine scroll and woodland accents. Baerten served as one of Browning’s master engravers for decades, and signed examples are far scarcer and more desirable than standard production engraving. 

The wood is equally impressive, showing strong figure through the buttstock and forearm with classic Browning styling, sharp checkering, and a long tang flat knob configuration that collectors pay attention to. The 26.5-inch barrels, 3-inch chambers, and light 6 pound 5 ounce weight make this a lively, upscale upland gun, while the modified and improved cylinder choke combination gives it practical hunting appeal beyond its collector status.

This one reads as a serious presentation-grade Belgian Browning for the buyer who appreciates both artistry and useability. It fits the collector who wants signed FN engraving, the Browning enthusiast hunting for a standout Superposed, or the bird hunter who wants to carry something rare and genuinely beautiful in the field.
