So this is a 1937 model gun? With the 2 9/16 chambers? Could you post a few better pics of the "engraving"?
Looks like a grade 1 to me, meaning ALL Browning sweet 16 grade 1's looked like this.

Just to help you identify your gun...its post 1948 because it has a cross bolt safety which sits on the rear of the trigger guard and its post 1968 because it has a flat knob stock and not the more desirable and valuable round knob stock.

Still an awesome gun. To find out what they're actually bringing in today's market, check out the auctions on Gunbroker. Welcome to ODT and good luck with it.

Agree with born2playhard. The pre-1968 round knob stock is a good bit more desirable. with the numbers listed on the gun, you should be able to track the year of manufacture and whether it is Japanese or belgium made. I personally have a 1962 belgium made and it has been appraised around $1400 in today's market. Pm me if you have interest in selling yours once you find out the true value.
