Description:

Built with blued steel barrels featuring a single bead sight on the matted flat vent rib, "ARMI Flli BERTUZZI" inlaid in gold to the left of the chambers with "MADE IN ITALY" marked opposite though not in gold, light engraving around the breech, 1988 dated Italian proof marks on the flats, interchangeable choke tubes (skeet/skeet installed), and 2 3/4 inch chambers with automatic ejectors. The barrels are fitted to the gorgeous coin finished sidelock action which displays deeply cut flowing scroll engraving which incorporates a number of masques from which the scroll is emanating all set over a darkened background and surrounding a trio of exceptional game scenes. The game scenes consist of a pair of setters set to retrieve a mallard on the left, a setter splashing in the water on the underside, and another pair of setters awaiting the shot and signal to retrieve a mallard, all of which are rendered in highly detailed gold inlays. The engraving is signed beneath all three of the game scenes "CORTI INC." The gun features a single non-selective trigger, a right hand rolled triggerguard, and a tang mounted manual safety. The gun is fitted with a fantastic highly figured and multi-point checkered three-piece forend with engraved coin finished fittings and a gold inlaid Bertuzzi crest as well as a straight grip stock with teardrop carved drop points and a Pachmayr Decelerator recoil pad. Included is a wood and leather takedown case, a pair of snap caps, and five extra choke tubes (improved cylinder, modified, improved modified, and two full). Barrel and stock measurements (U/O): bore diameter nine inches from the breech .727/.726 inches; minimum wall thickness .031/.030 inches; 1 7/16 inch drop at comb; 2 1/8 inch drop at heel; 14 5/16 inch length of pull; weight 8 lbs.

Rating Definition:

Excellent overall, retaining 99% original blue, coin, and gold finishes with minor handling evidence, a few tiny scratches, and sharp checkering on the stock and forend. Mechanically excellent. The case is very fine. Do not miss this chance to own this absolutely gorgeous Italian work of art!
