I have met Ivano Tanfoglio enough times, once we had facing booths in an exhibition, to regard him as a friend. He is one of the most forward thinking gunmakers I have ever met. In addition to being a top maker he is also a CAC CAM wizard and consultant to several Gardone firms and he was a collaborator of Dakota arms.
I have been to his workshop north of Gardone. Everything is top class, the machining, the fitting, the engraving. While there I watched a fitter spend a whole day on the final polishing in, and I mean polishing in, not smoking in, of an over under. And a lady engraver had come from France to execute a special pattern on a side by side.
Chuck, you got yourself a good gun.
