Italy 1955, less than 10 yrs post WWll
Where could you buy the forgings and barrels if you were a small shop?

It's a beautiful shotgun. But I think any of the small shops had help during that era. It would be nice to see within the lockplates.
There are thousands of hours in that gun, no matter where the raw stuff came from. It's a real gem.


Out there doing it best I can.
