*EXCEPTIONALLY FINE PEDRETTI ENGRAVED LUCIANO BOSIS “MICHAELANGELO” O/U GAME GUN.

*EXCEPTIONALLY FINE PEDRETTI ENGRAVED LUCIANO BOSIS “MICHAELANGELO” O/U GAME GUN. SN 026. (1989) Cal. 20 ga. 2-3/4″ Chambers. 27″ Beautifully struck demi-bloc bbls with solid matted rib, are inlaid in gold “Pachmayr by Luciano Bosis” and engraved “- BRESCIA – ITALY-” on left side of top bbl. Breech end of bottom bbl is engraved “L. Bosis” and “Pachmayr Ltd, Pasadena, CA” and with SN, and stamped with Italian 1989 nitro proofs. Bottom of bbl is stamped “R. Luterotti” and with spade device. Beautifully sculpted, coin finished, Boss type, low profile, sidelock, O/U action features non-automatic safety and single non-selective trigger. Action flats are inlaid with gold “L. Bosis” and with SN. Action is engraved with nearly full coverage exceptionally fine large open scrolled acanthus with strap work highlights, deeply shaded with stippled background. “L. Bosis” is on the bottom left and “Brescia” is on right. The dramatic scroll on action frames beautifully rendered Bulino scenes on bottom and on lockplates. The quality of this engraving is beyond compare, and is a prime example of how this technique can create three dimensional effect on a flat surface. Two cock and one hen pheasant are on left lockplate with gnarled windswept trees surrounding meadow in background. There is finely detailed grass and sedge in foreground. One cock pheasant is taking flight. Right lockplate depicts covey of bobwhite erupting from grass into open field and over fence line. An English pointer is on bottom of action. A finely detailed woodcock flits through alders on top lever. The three major Bulino scenes are signed by noted master engraver, “G. Pedretti” (Giancarlo), at bottom rights. Known for his exceptional relief scroll, it is obvious from this gun that he is an absolute master of Bulino work as well. Spectacular, intricately marbled, and slightly stump figured European walnut straight grip buttstock measures 14-3/4″ over thin, russet brown leather-covered pad, and features diamond hand, well cut point pattern checkering with line border, and a vacant gold oval on toe line. Matching one piece ejector forend has Anson type push button release through large Bosis style engraved reinforcing steel tip. Bore diameter: top -.624, bottom -.625. Bore restrictions: top -.023, bottom -.012. Wall thickness: top -.030, bottom -.030. Drop at heel: 1-7/8″, drop at comb: 1-1/4″. Weight: 6 lbs. 8 oz, LOP 14-3/4″. With gun is brown leather case with leather corners, lined with burgundy felt and containing a pair of 12 ga. snap caps. CONDITION: Excellent, showing evidence of very little use. Bbls have some slight silvering at muzzles and on ejector bolsters. Action shows some very minor marks. Stocks show some light marks, mostly on left side behind checkering. Bores are excellent, bright and shiny throughout. Action is tight. Ejectors are in time. Case is excellent. 4-46719 MGM147 (50,000-70,000)
