The Browning Superposed was the first over-under shotgun design to be produced and the last firearm to be designed by John Browning.[1] The Superposed introduced a wide variety of innovations including the single select trigger and over-under design.

Original production dates were 1931-1940.[2]

Original production grades were Grade I (Lightning/Standard), Pigeon, Diana and Midas.

Post WWII production began in 1948 and lasted until 1960 when the model underwent major changes.[2]
