Factory Domnico Massenza Signed, Master Engraved, and Gold Inlaid Beretta Sideplated Boxlock Double Barrel Shotgun with Case Built for the 1999 Safari Club International Convention

Blued Excelsior steel barrels with a single steel bead sight on the smooth concave solid rib which has a flourish of scroll towards the breech, standard markings in addition to gold inlaid "Special model for 1999 Safari Club Convention" on the left barrel, and 3 inch chambers with automatic ejectors. The coin finished sideplated boxlock action displays beautiful relief cut floral scroll engraving over a blackened background creating an eye popping contrast. The engraving continues to the toplever, both tangs, and the triggerguard which bears a gold inlaid Safari Club International "lion and shield" logo. The triggerplate is signed to the right of the trigger "D.MASSENZA" for Beretta Master Engraver Domnico Massenza. The gun features a single trigger and a tang mounted automatic safety/selector switch. Beautifully figured, multi-point checkered splinter forend with matching engraved fittings, including the Anson button release, and straight grip stock with checkered walnut buttplate.
