Built with blued steel barrels featuring a single nickel bead sight on the matted flat solid rib, "ACCIAIO SPECIALE S.I.A.U." and "FABIO ZANOTTI. DA BOLOGNA" marked on the right and left tubes respectively, a band of engraving at the breech, 1976 dated Italian proofs, and chambers marked 2 3/4 inches with automatic ejectors. The barrels are pair with an attractive coin finished boxlock action which displays near full coverage deeply cut floral scroll engraving with a matted background surrounding a trio of quail on the right, a trio of pheasants on the left, and a setter and two pointers on the underside along with a Zanotti banner. The gun features a single non-selective trigger and a tang mounted manual safety. The gun is fitted with a beautifully figured and multi-point checkered beavertail forend with engraved coined fittings and a straight grip stock with a leather wrapped recoil pad. Included is a factory oak and leather takedown case and original proof sheet. Barrel and stock measurements (R/L): bore diameter nine inches from the breech both proofed at 14.1mm (.555 inches) and measured .562/.558 inches; choke constriction .010/.017 inches; 1 5/8 inch drop at comb; 1 7/8 inch drop at heel; 14 5/16 inch length of pull; weight 5 lbs. 11 oz.

Excellent, retaining 98% plus original blue and coin finishes with minor handling evidence and a few areas of dried grease. The wood is very fine with a few light dings and scratches, a stress line off the lower tang, and crisp checkering. The case is very good. Mechanically excellent.
