There is a Browning O/U for sale that the owner describes as a Belgian Liege Browning for $725.00. Is this a superposed by a different name? Or, is it something else entirely? The reciever looks like a cross between a super and a citori. In other words, it has the 90' knucke on the forend like a super, but the receiver isn't rebated near the hinge pin like a super. The receiver is straight like a citori. Any info on what this is and if 725 is a fair price. Gun appears to be 90% Thanks and shoot straight.

I would not pay $600 for that club. In price range you quoted I would look for nice PB 'BL' or 'S' series gun instead.
If you're interested to learn more about this "Hobo Superposed" check out 'Browning Liege' in Gun Digest 1975 Deluxe Ed. pp.47-50.

This is the B-26 manufactured by FN 1973-5. It is not a Super. Price is right in there for 98% gun.

B26 was manufactured till 1983, successor model was B27, then B127. All made in Belgium, but not real B25:s (Superposeds). May be not imported to USA after 1975.

Yes, another "Zardoz" moment. I only know what I read in the papers. Fjestad's elves stand corrected.
