Trying to ID this Browning 12GA

[Zaicran]

This one was a Belgian made…want to buy it but want more info on it. Owner doesnt have much to go on.

Any ideas? Year?

Can tell you the pad isn't original. Dad's round knob has a FN plate on it

From the Browning website it looks like 1954-55 production as those are the only ones start with H

Standard with added recoil pad and no vent rib I would say 400 to 500 as long as no cracks in wood, forearms like to crack on these

What year was that one you had that didn’t have the cartridge interrupter? I believe it was one of the first 10,000?
