Need help determining Grade of my Superposed

[ScottB]

Older Citoris have fixed chokes too. I used to own one with fixed chokes. The easiest way to spot a superposed at a glance is the forearm. Citori forearms just pull away when you release the latch on the bottom like most every other shotgun. Superposed's have articulated mechanism and have fitting that goes through the side of the forearm

It's marked Made in Belgium on barrel.

guys on shotgun world are leading me think it's a B125 superposed

however the mystery continues until i talk to Glen at Browning, hopefully, either way never gonna sell it things freaking sweet.

If its marked Belgium, then forget all the Citori references. Sweet!

Interesting, I was going to post that I have a late 80's Citori GTI red letter, which was their sporting clays gun at the time, it has the original invector chokes and that It looked very similar. Are the barrels swelled at the chokes, mine are. My gun is definitely manufactured in Japan. I have never been able to nail down the actual production date but I know its pre 1990's, likely 88, or 89. The invector plus chokes, I believe came out in 1992 for the 12 and 20. Hope to hear what you find out from Browning. Keep us posted. Either way you have a very fine shotgun. I love mine. My favorite way to search for thing on the internet is to go for the images, and yes, it does look like it may be B125 superposed. I have to assume a later production gun, with choke tubes. Damn nice gun!!! I only use damn in when describing things that are in my dreams!

Just found this, so added regarding similar guns:

Mystery solved. Glen at Browning was kind enough to call me back today
Turns out it's a Superposed B125 sporter B grade with invector tubes. Told me it was purchased in Monrovia, CA in September 1989 original purchase price was around $2300. Today's insurance value would be around $3000. Thanks for all your guys help. It's a great shotgun and I've always wanted a O/U so now time to get that crack in forend fixed and take it for some good ol' shootin.

That great news. That must be a very fine gun. I think you are set in the o/u category. Congratulations. Now go shoot it and report back!
