Pete,
Now there's a high grade gun! Looks very nice especially considering 1929 and I am very fond of the bullino style engraving, it's very satisfying even though some folks find it unrefined. Exactly, it's a shotgun and not a cello.
Were there many sidelocks made by Beretta prior to the early '50s? I'm unable to see from these posting pictures if this model 7 is sidelock or plates?? Frame is nicely sculpted and balanced, gorgeous!
I've never realised how nice these vintage Italian sxs doubles can be!
