I have a Acciaio Breda B-4 (I believe means Breda Steel-and Chrome-steel barrel)
Made in Italy
D'Armi E Contento-Bresca (Maybe has something to do with the gunmaker)
I believe this is an Italian Beretta
It is a 12 gauge Over Under
It has the silver tooling with designs and is in good shape.
Does anyone know how much it is worth?
Also, how do I find out how old it is?

The gun was made by Breda not Beretta. Most of the Breda guns I`ve seen were automatics but they made sxs and o/u also.

I had a B-5 about fourty years ago, it was a sideplated boxlock o/u with double triggers that worked as a single trigger if pulled twice.

A WAG of price $700-$900.

There is a Breda SxS at a local shop here. It has comparable engraving of the Beretta Silver Hawk. The reason I know this is there is one of those there also. Both are 12 gauges and both nice guns on consignment from the same guy. Breda $749 the Beretta $849. I like the Breda better but could not find anything about the quality. It seems every bit as good as the Beretta without the name recognition. I couldn't find anything on the gun that would suggest a date of manufacture. Sorry I couldn't be of more help, but this is the only one I ever saw. I hope this helps a little.

not familiar with this make, but there sure are some nice guns out there. i looked over lil' o/u 20ga rounded action (case-colored) armi marocchi in field grade configuration (extra light, dt, fixed chokes, slim forend,....). the tag had $699 on it but i'm sure less would be accepted as in real world almost nobody wants fixed choke o/u with double triggers.
not long ago i picked up nice bc miroku 20ga o/u in test fired condition for half of what equivalent 2nd hand citori would cost.
