Factory Master Claudio Tomasoni Signed and Engraved Ivo Fabbri Self-Opening Sidelock Double Barrel Shotgun

Ivo Fabbri got his start in firearms along side one of the most well-known names in the business: Daniele Perazzi. After they split, Perazzi went on to create arguably the world's finest sporting guns, and Fabbri perused his dream to build the finest guns in the world, with this gun being true to that end. Fabbri only builds some 30 guns a year, each is hand crafted from the ground up by some of Italy's finest craftsmen, making guns such as these scarcely offered at public sale. This gun was built with blued chopperlump barrels featuring a single bead sight on the matted flat solid rib, "BOHLER SUPER BLITZ STEEL" and "IVO FABBRI ARMI - BRESCIA - ITALY" marked on the right and left tubes respectively, a single band of engraving at either breech, 1976 dated Italian proofs on the flats, and 2 3/4 inch chambers with automatic ejectors. The barrels are fitted to a handsome coin finished Holland & Holland type self-opening sidelock action which displays extensive highly detailed and intricate relief cut floral scrollwork over a darkened background giving a great depth surrounding "IVO FABBRI/BRESCIA ITALY" signed on the underside. The engraving flows off of the action and continues onto the toplever, triggerguard, and both of the tangs. The engraving is singed on the triggerplate to the right of the trigger ""inc. C. Tomasoni" for renowned Italian Master Engraver Claudio Tomasoni. The gun features a single trigger, bright cocking indicators on either lockplate, and an automatic tang mounted safety. The gun is fitted with a sensational highly figured and multi-point checkered splinter forend with blued engraved shoe and Anson button release as well as a straight grip stock with a fully checkered bare butt. Barrel and stock measurements (R/L): bore diameter nine inches from the breech proofed at 18.4mm (.724 inches) and measured .727/.726 inches; choke constriction .020/.021 inches; minimum wall thickness .029/.029 inches; 1 9/16 inch drop at comb; 2 1/4 inch drop at heel; 14 3/16 inch length of pull; cast-off; weight 6 lbs. 14 oz.

ConditionExcellent overall, retaining 99% original blue and coin finishes with minor handling evidence and sharp checkering on the stock and forend. Mechanically excellent. This is a great chance to own a fantastic gun by one of Italy's finest!
