Anyone have access to V. Bernardelli serial numbers. I will be looking at a 12 ga. SxS for a young friend. The gun came to the U.S. with the young mans Grandmother from Italy and he's trying to gather info. The serial # is 85000. I don't have the gun in hand yet.

Dennis, Bernardellis--like all Italian guns--also carry a date code. I thought it was available on the home page here, but apparently not. You can find it in the back of the Blue Book. Might be a link somewhere on line too. But I'm guessing the gun you'll be looking at will have the Roman numeral-style date code. Simply add the Roman numeral to 1944 and you have the date of production.

Isn't that funny. My Bernardelli double #70164 has all kinds of Italian proof marks but I can't see any Roman numerals... And as a former tarok/tarot player I know Roman numerals smile And yes, I do remember Roman numerals on other Italian guns.

With kind regards,

Italian date codes,

http://www.shotguns.se/html/italy.html

Roman numerals only until 1974, letter codes after.

OK, let's see. My Bernardelli is marked BC so it's from 2006. I didn't know it was so young.
Thanks.

I figured this one--having arrived here with the owner's grandmother--would likely be of the older, Roman numeral variety.

Off topic but funny at an interview with the First Lady,

Van Susteran, "What language is spoken in Slovenia?"

First Lady, looking irritated, "Slovenian."
