I wonder if the .32 Browning Automatic which sparked WWI, is still around?

It would have to be pretty valuable.

I have a Browning A5 shotgun that was one of the last ones produced before WWI. I was shooting it at the trap range one day and chatting with a guy. He was a Serb, I told him about the age of the gun and he said “Gavrilo had a Browing! Good gun!”

That was pretty weird.
