A look at the "Modified Diana" joint suggests that the "Original" process may have been superior

Brevattato is Italian for patented'--you have somehow chosen the Italian word for short or abbreviated, Dr. Drewbie- If you wish to confirm that fact, please see page 113 of the book "Hemingway's Guns" second edition. Y Feliz Navidad a todos en tua familia. El Zorro.

Please explain to your friend Ernest that Beretta Brevetto 1922 usually refers to the single barrel Vittoria (not the Modello 1922 of the 1915 - 1919 pistol), but the Brevetto was for the monobloc process. The gun pictured is a Brevetto Pigeon gun, but I don't know the model number.

I expect that Manufrance built more guns on the "sleeved" principle--but starting from scratch--than any other maker. The Robust model in particular was very popular in France. They called their system "canons frettes".
