They were some of the first to bring SxS & O/U Beretta game guns into the U.S. with Models 410, 411, ASE & of course this ASEL #16725. They also handled a complete line of underwater diving equipment and advertised they would take guns in on trade. The 21st century fine gun dealers will trade on mattresses, engagement rings, baby cribs, video cameras and vacuum cleaners so diving gear might be next. Part of their logo was "Musket To Magnum" and they operated at 12203 Wilshire Boulevard in Los Angeles.
