Built with blued steel barrels featuring dual bead sights on the matted vent rib which is marked with a gold "1" at the base, 2005 dated Italian proof marks, 3 inch chambers with automatic ejectors, and Briley choke system (improved cylinder/improved cylinder installed). The barrels are fitted to the coin finished sideplated action which displays a pair of woodcocks on the left and four grouse on the right all encompassed by floral scrollwork. The triggerplate is signed "Bottega C. Giovanelli" for the famous firm to the right of the trigger. The gun features a single gold trigger and a tang mounted manual safety/selector. The gun is fitted with a beautifully figured and multi-point checkered Schnabel tip forend with engraved fittings and a gold "1" on the release as well as a pistol grip stock with blank silver inscription oval and a leather covered recoil pad. Included is a second matching numbered 30 inch 28 gauge barrel set with "2"s in place of "1"s. Also included is a canvas and wood takedown case, four extra 20 gauge chokes (cylinder, two skeet, and improved modified), and five extra 28 gauge chokes (cylinder, skeet, two modified, and improved modified). Barrel measurements for the extra set (U/O): bore diameter nine inches from the breech .549/.549 inches; minimum wall thickness .037/.038 inches.

Very fine overall, retaining 99% original blue and coin finishes with minor handling evidence, a few patches of dried grease, a few freckles of spotting, a couple small marks in the wood, and sharp checkering on the stock and forend. Mechanically excellent. The case and extra barrel set are excellent.
