According to the book I have by Matt Eastman, the first model was made until 1975. Bbl lengths were 4 1/2 and 6 3/4. Total number of all three models never got beyond @ 218,137, so a seven digit SN doesn't make sense. When did you acquire the piece? Do you have the box it came in? What are the exact markings on the pistol?

You may need to find an experienced Browning collector.
