bferg will get this one a lot better than me but NIB grade 1 suggested retail is 557.00 grade VI is about 989.00 your gun if that s/n is right was made probably in 1965 one of about 12 thousand that year depends on grade and condition...grade 1 in good condition could bring 1500 bucks to the right buyer. I have one so that is what mine runs

I bought one a couple of years ago and paid $145.00 for it. I have seen the new Chinese clones for $300.00. I also understand that there is a Japanese version of this rifle.
Mine is plain-Jane. Some of those Belgium Browning .22s were engraved and that will increase the value.
Good luck.
