*LOVELY 20 BORE FLLI BERTUZZI SIDELOCK EJECTOR GAME GUN WITH EXCEPTIONALLY FINE GAME SCENE ENGRAVINGS BY DASSA WITH CASE.

SN 5906. Cal. 20 ga. 3″ Chambers. Finely struck 26-1/2″ chopper lump bbls with flat, narrow, matted rib, are engraved “ARMI Flli BERTUZZI GARDONE V.T. ITALY” on left side of left bbl. Makers name is inlaid in gold. Bbl flats are stamped with 1991 Italian nitro proofs, and with makers name. Bottoms of bbls with chamber and choke information, are engraved with importers name and address (William Larkin Moore). Coin finished, full sidelock action features non-automatic safety, bushed strikers, and double triggers (front articulated). Action is filed with well done beads and fillets and rounded lockplates. Action is engraved with near full coverage of a combination of very well cut miniscule scroll with unengraved areas on beads as counterpoint to truly exceptional Bulino renditions of small game birds in realistic backgrounds with dramatic skies; pair of chukar partridge fly out of mountainous terrain on left lock, trio of quail erupt from hedgerow into open cropland on right. Another pair of quail flush through trees on bottom of action. “ARMI Flli BERTUZZI” is on left side of action and “ITALY GARDONE VT” is on right. This exceptional engraving is signed by the well known Dassa brothers on trigger plate with a date of “’91”. Top lever and single beaded trigger guard are also engraved with miniscule scroll. SN is on banner at grip. Lightly marbled and nicely figured European walnut straight grip buttstock measures 14-3/4″ over black leather covered pad, and features drop points, standard point pattern checkering, and a gold oval on toe line engraved “GWH”. Matching splinter ejector forend has Anson release and central diamond is inlet with gold Bertuzzi crest. Bore diameter: left -.622, right -.621. Bore restrictions: left -.011 (lt mod), right -.006 (IC). Wall thickness: left -.033, right -.037. Drop at heel: 2-1/4″, drop at comb: 1-5/16″. Weight: 6 lbs 0 oz. LOP: 14-3/4″. Makers brown leather case by Nizzoli is lined in olive green felt, and has gold embossed black leather Bertuzzi label in lid. CONDITION: Excellent, showing evidence of light field use, with a few scattered marks on wood and metal, most noticeably a light scratch under one partridge on left lockplate, and some other light marks on butt and forend. Forend finish shows light wear, and some smoothing of checkering from hand wear. Bores are excellent. Action is tight. Bbls are on face. Ejectors are strong and in time. Case leather is excellent with a few scuffs and rubs on edges. Straps and handle are fine. Interior cloth has some rubs and marks, and space where lump fits has been repaired with tape. These beautiful guns will never be made again as the Bertuzzi brothers retired a few years ago. 49305-6 MGM192 (8,000-12,000) – Lot 2147
