Johann Fanzoi is a maker as well. Richard is who I would like info on. Here is one photo of the gun.
Here is the description:
Richard Fanzoi Best Sidelock Ejector 12 gauge. 28" Bohler Antinit steel barrels with original 2 3/4" chambers choked Mod./Full (.022/.042). Bores measure .724/.726. Double triggers with the front trigger articulated. Ejectors. Straight-hand stock with splinter fore end. Lockup is via Purdey double under lugs with a hidden third fastener. A magnificent example of the Ferlach gun trade's abilities, this gun was made in 1963 by Richard Fanzoi (a cousin of the current gun maker Johann's father). To say this gun is striking would be a gross understatement. It features some of the elements you expect from the Ferlach trade: fine-line checkering in a more ornate pattern than you'd see on a London best, an exceptionally long bottom tang with a dagger point at the end and a slightly more rounded fore end than typically produced elsewhere. But from there the gun departs from tradition. A masterful medium scroll covers every inch of the action, and the 9-pin locks are coin finished in a black action body. And the added touches set this gun a bit farther apart. At the action end of the checkering, the pattern is decorated with a small, tasteful carved wheat sheaf, and the rib on the gun is a work of art in itself, matted not with a machine but with the engraver's handiwork from breech to muzzle. The gun is in exceptional condition. Cased in an oak-and-leather case hinged with a full-length piano hinge and complete with a cleaning kit and oil bottle. 6 lbs. 5 ozs. 14 1/2" LOP over carved horn butt plate. 1 1/2" DAC. 2 1/4" DAH.
