This is an exquisite and classy piece by one of Italy's premier makers. Originally #2 of a two gun set and so marked in gold on barrels, toplever, and forend. It is very tight and appears to be little used with only a few minimal handling marks. Toplever well right of center. Cased in a leather trunk case with snap caps and oil bottle. It just doesn't get much better than this.
