Now a days, the jap guns are generally worth more then a Belgian gun. Mainly cause they are considered safe by browning to shoot steal shot.
Sorry, not buying what yer selling here.
I don't think Jap are worth more, but I've read the steel thing elsewhere.
That's for folks that want to use an A-5 for water fowling I suppose. Which is a small percentage of A-5 owners I'd guess. I find a 95% or NIB Belgium and a Jap same condition for same $ , I'll buy the Belgium every time.
"Why do you ask"?
Too many people spend money they don't have , on things they don't need, to impress people they don't know.
