I should have added to my post above that all Beretta shotguns do not have die impressed decoration. That is true for the 687 range but when you get to the SO range, they are hand engraved and cost accordingly. If a Beretta is signed by an engraver other than Bottega Giovanelli, it is hand engraved. My apologies to Julio Timpini and his colleagues.
