Help me identify please

[kchef72]

I obtained a single shot 12 gauge and I am having some difficulties getting information about it regarding age, manufacturer, value, etc. The only imprints on it are the manufacturer: Fi Industries Washington, D.C., and serial #fs05373. The shotgun is 35 1/2" in overall length, 26" with the stock folded in.

If anyone can shed some light into the darkness of my ignorance, I would greatly appreciate it.

The gun was imported into the USA by Firearms International, of Washington DC.

FI imported guns and assembled guns from imported parts
They sold pistols and shotguns, all of the lowest end in quality.
The shotguns were mostly made in South America.
Most of their shotguns have minimal value, probably no more than $125. new in the box.

Your gun sounds like the "Bronco". This was a single shot, sometimes a .22LR/shotgun "over and under" design with a folding metal stock.
These guns were made in South America, and were imported and sold in the USA by several importers.
Value is low.
