5. Browning Superposed

John Browning of Morgan, Utah, was the greatest, most prolific inventor of both sporting and military guns in modern times.

His last gun, the Superposed, was an expensive gun that debuted just in time for the Depression. Its Belgian factory was occupied by the Nazis in World War II, but the Superposed survived to achieve tremendous popularity by the 1960s.

Superposeds remain in production as custom order guns today. The Midas grade model, with its gold inlaid pheasants and ducks, is one of the most lavishly decorated models.

Price: $21,500
Gauge: 410
