In the February Collection of Collectors Elite Auctions, we’re taking a closer look at two truly iconic shotguns that represent very different—but equally important—chapters in firearms history. This month’s video highlights a Custom Shop Browning Auto-5 from Belgium and an early-production Ruger Red Label over-under. From Old World craftsmanship to rugged American engineering, these two shotguns showcase the breadth and depth of collectible sporting arms offered in this month’s Collectors Elite Auctions.
