Outstanding Pair of Signed, Engraved, and Consecutively Serial Numbered Beretta Model 687EELL Diamond Pigeon Gallery Over/Under Shotguns with Case

A) Beretta Model 687EELL Shotgun

Single steel bead on the matted, vent rib, two light bands of engraving around the chamber area, small "1" at the breech on the rib, 3 inch chambers with ejectors, and interchangeable choke system (modified/full installed). The coin finished receiver and sideplates feature floral scrollwork surrounding "P. BERETTA" banners on each side, "Beretta/Gallery" on the underside, and game scenes on either lock plate. The left lock plate displays a pair of pheasants flying over an upland scene and the right has a pair of mallards in flight over a marsh scene. The right side of the trigger plate is signed "Bottega C. Giovanelli". The upper tang has light engraving and is marked with the serial number and "DIAMOND PIGEON" and the barrel release is engraved and bares a gold inlaid "1". Beautifully figured, multi-point checkered walnut forearm with coin finished engraved fittings and a gold inlaid "1" on the latch and pistol grip stock with blank inscription oval and Decelerator recoil pad. Includes a factory double gun takedown case that houses both "A" and "B" and six extra choke tubes (skeet, two cylinder, improved cylinder, and two improved modified). Barrel and stock measurements (U/O): bores 9 inches from the breech both proved and measured at 18.4 mm (.724 inches); minimum wall thickness .039/.034 inches; 1 3/8 inch drop at comb; 2 5/8 inch drop at heel; 14 3/4 inch length of pull; cast-off; weight 7 lbs 9 oz.

ConditionExcellent overall, retaining 99% original blue and coin finishes, a small ding behind the left sideplate and some scratching at the rear of the forearm, otherwise minor handling evidence, and sharp checkering on the wood. The case has one broken latch but is otherwise very good. Mechanically excellent.
