SN 9652. Cal. 12 ga. This obviously custom made set that is not importer marked, features two sets, 25-5/8″ and 28-3/8″ chopper lump bbls engraved “FLLI PIOTTI GARDONE V.T.” on slightly raised file matted ribs. Bbl flats are stamped with 2000 Italian nitro proofs on 25-5/8″ bbls which are numbered to match action. 28-3/8″ bbls with gold star on breech end of rib are SNed “0111P” have 2001 Italian nitro proofs. Coin finished robust sidelock action features non-automatic safety, gold band tumbler end cocking indicators, and dbl triggers (front articulated). Action is well filed and engraved with a masterful unique rendition of exceptionally well cut shaded scroll which has tendrils and flowers intruding into a shaded background of minuscule scroll. This very attractive treatment surrounds superbly detailed Bulino scenes of birds on lockplates; mallard drakes and a hen flying over marsh, with trees in background on left, and on right there is a sylvan scene of pair of woodcock, one still nestled on ground, with another taking flight into background of large and small alders. Bottom of action depicts what is obviously a portrait of the orig owners dog retrieving a woodcock. Engravers signature “M. Terzi” is on trigger plate. Single beaded trigger guard has more floral scroll with SN in gold on tang. Intricately dark veined and stump figured European walnut straight grip buttstock with point pattern checkering on diamond hand measures 14-1/2″ over brown leather covered pad. A vacant gold oval is on toe line. Checkering is especially well done with mullered borders stopping short of borderless large diamonds inside front apexes. Matching splinter ejector forend has Anson release, and services both sets of bbls. 25-5/8″ BBLS: Bore diameter: left -.726, right – .727. Bore restrictions: left – .012 (lt mod), right – .004 (IC). Drop at heel: 2-1/4″, drop at comb: 1-3/8″. Cast: neutral. Weight: 6 lbs. 10 oz. LOP: 14-1/2″. 28-3/8″ BBLS: Bore diameter: left -.728, right – .727.

CONDITION: Excellent, close to new, with evidence of only light field use, mostly some light marks on left side of butt, and some very minor small marks on bbls. Coin finish on action is slightly darkened on bottom. Bores are excellent. Mechanically excellent. 53135-1 MGM (20,000-30,000) – Lot 1243
