I saw the Bernardelli Roma 6E last night and it was as described. I meant his offer but first told him the gun was worth more than he was asking. He said a deal is a deal. He was in the midst selling his possesions on ebay and guns were a no no. Also bought a nice pair of officer issued Colts he got after West Point.
Alway nice to find an opportunity during the age of "internet" exposure.
I am impressed with the wood to metal and balance. The Italian job may move an English gun or two in the vault and might even see a grouse/partridge this season.
thanks
