Hello Jeff,

It sure looks like it could be, or at least one of his pupils. Here is the left lock plate of the S3.


What vintage is your Fabbrizioli (if I read right)? Bear in mind Signore Bregoli unfortunately left us in 1980. Also, here is what Slate posted
about him some time ago: "In written correspondence that I had with Beretta some time
ago they advised me that G. Bregoli was considered by them to be a " Master Engraver "
who for some time was an " Overseer" and " Exectutor " of engraving on the finest of their
guns. I believe that he retired in 1961."

We do appear to have very similar tastes on guns, :-)

Best,

JC
