Founded by Rudolfo Cosmi, the firm has built a reputation amongst shooters as a manufacturer of extremely well shooting guns over the years. Remarkably, this design dates to around the turn of the 20th century, Cosmi guns appear to be both futuristic while also hearkening to the past with its unique break action semi-automatic action. The gun is operated by breaking the action to expose the internals, loading shells in the magazine tube which is housed in the stock, placing a round in the chamber, then manually cocking the hammer before closing the action and making the gun ready to fire. This gun is built with a blued Bohler Antinit steel barrel featuring a single bead sight on the matted vent rib, 1972 dated Italian proofs, 2 3/4 inch chamber, and choke constriction of .029 inches (full). The two-tone action is unadorned aside from a single button on the left and the Cosmi factory marking on the left side reading "COSMI - BREVETTATO - TORRETTE - ANCONA - MADE IN ITALY". Highly attractive, contrastingly figured, multi-point checkered forend with a monogram on the gold initial diamond and pistol grip stock with gold inscription oval reading "N.2" and a checkered bare butt. Stock measurements: 1 1/2 inch drop at comb; 2 inch drop at heel; 14 3/8 inch length of pull; weight 7 lbs.

Excellent, retaining 99% original blue and bright polished finishes with minor handling evidence. The wood is very fine with a few light dings and scratches, a stress line at the upper tang, and sharp checkering. Mechanically excellent. A rare chance to own one of these very interesting guns!
