Any help appreciated

For sale stolen or wantingto buy???

A "wanted to buy" by the looks of it. Probably better in the "for sale" thread.
But hey spread all the WTB adds out and that should ease the "load" in the for sale thread

Wanted to buy sorry

Side plated top of the line model.

Shooters world in Gore had a very nice Merkel in there when I looked the other day which may fit the bill

Sideplate is different from sidelock. Rizzini have some nice sideplate models. Neil Hayes at Masterton is an agent I think.
Beretta have sideplate grades and so do some spanish makers. True high grade sidelocks are another big step up the "grade" ladder.

Side plate top of the line guns side locks not required

Rizzini.

What type does the Browning B725 have?

I had no idea there were different types, I just pull the trigger on my Akkar and it seems to go every time.

Sideplates are just a pretty decoration and serve zero mechanical function. Usually exhorbitantly increase purchase price for no other reason than "good looks". They allow more area for engraving / artistry which may enhance the intrinsic traditions associated with the firearm above just badic funtionality. E.G. , fine engraving with gold or silver inlays etc. Think of a presentation sword compared to standard issue.
