Manufactured in 1964, early in Perazzi's history, and during the partnership between Daniele Perazzi and Ivo Fabbri. Guns built during this partnership, such as this one, are very desirable as it was short lived before Fabbri left to create some of the world's finest guns with his own company. Blued Phoenix Demibloc steel barrels with dual bead sights on the matted flat solid rib, "PERAZZI & FABBRI - BRESCIA" marked on the left of the upper barrel, 2 3/4 inch chambers with automatic ejectors, and floral engraving at either side of the breech. The casehardened sidelock action shows gorgeous deep cut broad leaf designs on the fences and running down and around the action to the lower horns of the stock head. The remaining portion of the action and locks display near full coverage tight scroll engraving surrounding floral bouquets, with the addition of trailing ribbons flowing from the stems on either lockplate. The decoration extends to the engraved East Asian inspired dragon carved pierced toplever, both tangs, and the triggerguard. The gun features a single blued trigger and tang mounted manual safety switch with a gold inlaid "S". Beautifully figured, multi-point checkered forend with matching engraved fittings and a round knob pistol grip stock with leather wrapped recoil pad.
