Reintroduced in 1999, this would be the 144th produced. Single brass bead sight on matte rib, with "ARMI BESCHI, GARDONE V.T., ITALY" marked on the left barrel ahead of the breech. Frame is casehardened and finely scroll and punch dot engraved, with checkerboard engraving on the breech. There are also floral and burst patterns on the screws, a scene of a duck in flight on the left side, a pheasant in an open field on the right, and a snipe on a shore on the underside, with the engravers signature "FERRARI" next to the trigger guard. Double gold washed triggers with a tang safety. Checkered pistol grip stock with an ebony forearm insert, engraved fittings, fancy grain and varnish, an initial oval on the underside and a smooth hardwood replacement buttplate. With a leather reinforced canvas covered takedown case, with leather straps, green lining, and an Ithaca label inside the lid.

Excellent. A few minor handing marks are present on the barrel, with 99% of the original blue. The case colors are chiefly a mix of blue and brown, with a smooth, silvered patina forming over 30%, concentrated towards the rear. Stock is repaired, with some chipping around the narrow butt and on the forearm, minor varnish loss and pressure dents, and attractive grain and varnish. Case is excellent, with minor wear.
