The prices jack w gave above are the same as the prices in my 19th edition blue book from 1998, and are definitely outdated. If you get prices from a blue book, be sure to check the edition number. The 27th is the latest available. No disrespect intended towards jack w!

Answer 2

More info is needed, was it made in Belgium or not and exactly what model # is on the gun? Does it have a ventilated rib or not?

Anyway, the Blue Book of Gun Values, list the Auto 5 Sweet 16 in 80% from $295 to $375 - this is for Belgium models made from 1950-1976. The Sweet 16 Miroku ( Japan) 1987-1992 at 80% is listed at $340.

The above listed prices seem low for a Belgium made Browning Sweet 16.
