I am a novice to posting on a board.
I would like to know the value of the Browning 1919, and the many extras, I own. I have not followed the values of NFA items for many years. Many thanks in advance for sharing your knowledge.
I purchased this Browning 1919 in mid 1990s, and collected accessories over the years. I'm very particular. Nothing has been fired or used since at least prior to 1996. Every component has been stored in climate controlled environment (65-70 deg F and low humidity) during my ownership. I've routinely upgraded accessories as items in better condition were found and purchased. It is highly unlikely you will find a Browning 1919 and accessories assembled that are in finer condition, complete, and accurate. I've compiled these items over the past 20+ years for the joy of having the finest, not for blasting.
The items are listed below, plus I can send you an Excel spreadsheet that contains some more details. I have multiples for many of the accessories.
Again, thank you and best regards,
Rob Hubbard
