Blued Bohler Antinit steel barrels with a dual white bead sight on the matted concave solid rib, import mark under forend, 1971 dated Italian proofs, and 2 3/4 inch chambers with automatic ejectors. The coin finished sidelock action displays beautifully executed extensive floral scroll engraving covering nearly the entire surface, including the toplever, trigger guard, and both tangs. The gun features bushed firing pins, a single trigger, right hand rolled trigger guard, and a tang mounted manual safety switch. Highly figured, multi-point checkered beavertail forend with engraved fittings, including the Anson button release, and a gold inlaid emblem with a coronet over "IMPERIALE-MONTECARLO-EXTRA". The equally highly figured pistol grip stock features teardrop carved flats, shield inlaid in grip cap marked "Pugre", and a ventilated rubber recoil pad. Barrel and stock measurements (R/L): bore diameter nine inches from the breech both proved at 18.5mm (.728 inches) and measured .730/.729 inches; choke constriction .018/.040 inches; minimum wall thickness .028/.031 inches; 1 1/16 inch drop at comb; 1 1/4 inch drop at heel; 14 5/16 inch length of pull; cast-off; weight 7 lbs. 4 oz.

Excellent, retaining 99% original blue and coin finishes with minimal handling evidence and some slight discoloration on the upper tang. The recoil pad is deteriorating; otherwise, the wood is very fine with some minor marks and sharp checkering. Mechanically excellent.
