Steve was also Rizzini USA for awhile. His wife is a multilingual tour guide for gun guys, among other talents. My friend, Berle Cherney, used Ms. Lamboy to guide him on an Italian gun tour, wrote an article about it. Don't remember the publication.

Buyer beware! I was just poking around on the Net, turned up a few guns avertised as ICD's. One of them said "Beschi" right on the barrels.

More than a great and multi-faceted gunsmith-and gun shop owner- He was a close friend and bird hunting partner for many years, and i trusted ihim, some years ago now, with the private sale of 2 high grade Parkers that I inherited. The proceeds from those sales are going to provide unds for my grandchildren to attend college. Brad and I were friends for nearly 30 years, and those memories do NOT fade away. RWTF

Beschi parts from icd do get a much deserved bad reputation but beschi made guns should be judged on individual guns they do make good quality guns

I put him in it, Murph- sory, can't do the same for Dewey Vicknair or Abe Chaber- tend to take things a bit personal when I sense some unfounded criticism is directed at a good friend, whether still on this earth, or the next life. RWTF

Weren’t unfinished guns and parts sold right at the end to people who hoped to complete a gun on the cheap? I seem to remember “kits” being offered, but, I’m not real clear on what actually happened. Perhaps there exist guns that were finished that had a commingling of parts? Best, Ted
