Back to the Bernardelli. The gun in question #85000 was made in 1965. Appears to be a side plated box lock with 27 1/2" barrels. 2 3/4" chambers and choked .028 and .039. Straight stock, splinter forend with sling swivels. Bright finish side plates. 75% engraving.
The gun was purchased in Italy and brought here by the young mans grandmother. Trying to determine the model now. If it were a US import of that era I would say a Gamecock Premier. But having been purchased in Italy I'm not sure.
With the exception of the two boxes of shells the young owner fired a couple weeks ago I would guess the gun was stored away upon arrival here and never used.
