Description:

This Beretta shotgun was upgraded by Master engraver Angelo Bee and features white and brass bead sights on the matte vent rib barrels with 3 inch chambers, auto ejectors, and open chokes. The coin finished receiver features fine scroll engraving on the main body with tight whirls, rosettes on the hinges, "P. Beretta" in fancy script on either side and a finely detailed bird scene on the bottom with a mountain scene background. The main body of the receiver was engraved at the Italian engraving studio of Cesare Giovanelli and is signed "Bottega C. Giovanelli" just to the right of the trigger guard. The side plates feature highly detailed game bird scenes of grouse in a forest on the right and ducks landing on a marsh on the left. Both scenes exhibit high detail and fine lines in the backgrounds. Each semi-relief engraved bird is inlaid in lustrous gold with fine detail. The rear of the each plate is also inlaid with a simple gold wire border. The left plate is signed "A.BEE" next to Angelo's signature bee symbol. The trigger guard is engraved and gold inlaid in the same manner as the side plates. Fitted with an adjustable gold washed trigger and a tang mounted safety/selector switch. Mounted on a very nicely figured checkered forearm and pistol grip stock with mercury recoil reducers and an adjustable Kick-Eez rubber recoil pad. Standard barrel and stock measurements are: bore diameter at 9 inches from breech .731/.730 inches; drop at comb 1 1/4 inches; drop at heel 1 1/2 inches; length of pull 14 1/4 inches.

Rating Definition:

Very fine as upgraded by Master Engraver Angelo Bee. 98% of the blue finish remains on the barrels with some small nicks and handling marks and slight variances in color. The receiver has 97% of the original coin finish on the main body with light handling marks. The upgraded side plates are highly detailed with light handling marks and bold gold inlay. The wood is very good with scattered small indentations, handling marks, well defined checkering and rich color and figure. Mechanically excellent.
