I just picked up a 1962 Belgian Browning A5 from the original owner (no box or paper work). The bluing is like new and is perfect and spotless, the stock and forearm are also immaculate. There are a few small chips in the FN butt plate but nothing major at all. This gun is in almost perfect condition. It has had maybe one box of shells through it at the most. The action is strong and everything is nice and tight. I don't yet know what choke it is or how to tell, there are no standard markings indicating the choke, but it has a 28 inch barrel w/o vent rib. I picked it up for $700. Based on the prices and conditions of similar A5's on Gun Broker, I think I did really well but I would like to hear from some of you Browning guys.
