Browning Cased Set NOT Renaissance

2016/7/22 9:17:05


Question
I have recently inherited a set of three Browning automatic pistols, the same in caliber to the Browning Renaissance cased set. These three guns, a Baby Browning .25 cal, a .360 and a 9mm are in a case, not a wood case, as I have read the Renaissance set came in, but probably a heavy wooden board case covered in leather or possibly faux leather. From the pictures I have seen in the Gun Traders guide the interior of this case is the same as the Renaissance case. I have the original receipt, dated 1968, which lists the three guns and their prices separately, not as a cased set. My question is, did Browning even produce a cased set of regular issue guns as I have just described, or did the dealer, who was an acquaintance of my father's, simply "create" a cased set? The case has a small oval plaque in the lower right corner which reads "Automatics by BROWNING ST Louis, Mo." I am unable to find this cased configuration in any of the gun guides I have located.

Answer
David,

Browning did put those in a case. The early Renaissance sets came in a blue interior case and the later came in a Red interior. It is hard to say if they came from Browning in the case or if someone added the case later. It is still a great set of pistols either way.
