Description:
Bertuzzi Venere 20 Gauge SxS Shotgun
SLE, DASSA ENGRAVED, CASED, 99%
General Specs: Bertuzzi, Year 1991, 20 Gauge, 6lbs, Side by Side
Serial Number: 5906
The Bertuzzi brothers learned gun making from their father and his father before him. Making only 10-15 guns a year, mostly by hand, each one is a work of art and amongst the very best shotguns the world has ever seen. That is not my opinion, but that of almost every gun guru the world over. Every detail screams "BEST GUN!!!", with the finest mechanics, aesthetics, and handling dynamics to bring you true one-of-a-kind perfection in a useable work of art. The Bertuzzi brothers went out on their own in 1976 after the death of their grandfather, and made guns into approximately 2008 when they closed up shop. Of course, with so few made overall, and the world wide respect for their work, the guns have become very valuable, usable works of art. This gun, serial number 5906 built in 1991, is no exception. The Venere is considered to be amongst the finest, Holland & Holland style side lock ejector shotguns ever created. All internal parts are highly polished and precisely fit for the utmost of reliability and durability. The 26 1/2" barrels are the finest steel, chopper lump barrels available, choked for quail and other close work at .006 and .013 restriction (SK/LM). The European walnut stocks are fitted to the action with perfection, nicely figured, checkered 32 lines per inch, beautiful leather pad, awesome dimensions with 14 13/16" LOP, 2 1/4" drop at heel, 1 3/8" drop at comb, 1/4" cast off... just fabulous. The receiver is engraved with the finest English scroll and bulino style game scenes engulfed with flying quail by DASSA, one of the world's most admired Italian engravers. At 6lbs. and balanced to perfection, it is a delight to the eye and hand. Details like the articulated front trigger, drop points on the stock, beaded fences, stocked to the fences, sculpted frame, file cut rib, removable striker discs, etc. are all BEST GUN features. A great investment quality shotgun, with no more ever to be produced, this is a gun that will stun every new looker. Dassa's work will be highly sought after for decades to come and then some. Maker's case included.
