It is amazing - some of the stories that we are told by manufacturers. Several years ago I sold a beautiful Fabio Zanotti
double model 625 (Aberchrombie and Fitch) to a friend of time who was moving to London for a couple of years.
He took it to Purdey for some reason to have it checked out. They
removed the Silver name plate in the bottom of the stock and put one in crossways , then told him the gun was not safe to shoot because the barrels were "Riveled" and they needed to rebarrel it.
I told him to bring it back please and I would refund his money.
When I took it to a knowledgeable double gunsmith, he examined it and laughed and said the only problem with the gun was that
it had not been made in England.
