Skeettex, this fellow's gun is a 20 gauge, a whole different situation. The Browning website or the links at the shotgunworld.com forum about Browning serial numbers will tell all, or maybe not. Unfortunately, Browning knows less about their serial numbers than some collectors. Your 20 gauge doesn't fit into any chart published by Browning, and no Browning A-5 20 gauge can be described as an "early A-5". To edit, I was posting this while Jerry was posting his complete serial number. The complete number with prefix does fit into the Browning chart.
