Description:
Beautiful 20 gauge Gamba "Ambassador" model made with matted top rib with large white front bead. Tops of barrels marked "BY RENATO GAMBA" on right and "MANNLICHER MOD. AMBASSADOR / MADE IN ITALY" on left tube. There are thin gold barrel bands at breech ends. Splinter forend with blued and gold border accented push button tip and gold makers crest at center. Made with non-selective single trigger, auto ejectors, and non-auto safety. Finely polished blued "Funeral" action is beautifully gold border accented. There is geometric designs around the screws and bottom of action is gold inlaid with "RENATO GAMBA / GARDONE VT. ITALY". Rolled edge blued trigger guard with Saudi Royal crest is gold border inlaid and has serial number inlaid in gold at tang. Beautiful French walnut buttstock with tear drops behind locks is checkered in two point pattern through the wrist and terminates with a checkered butt. Housed in a maroon leather case with red felt interior. Top of case with maker label and inside of case with brass plaque which states "H.R.H PRINCE FAISAL M. SAUD" / "SAUDI ARABIA". CONDITION: Excellent as very lightly field used. Barrels retain about 97% original blued finish with minor light handling marks. Receiver retains about all of its original high polish blued finish as does trigger guard and top tang and lever. Stocks are sound and excellent and retain nearly all of their original hand rubbed finish with only very minor light marks. Case is excellent with minor rubs. A very interesting Gamba that is probably of finer quality than anything to come out of Purdey's. A delightful little gun. From the Morphy Catalog
After puchasing this SxS, it went to my master gunsmith for complete strip and clen,$300. Replaced mainspring and complete clean. Has not been fired since. A new Gamba, same model over $70,000 today Note that since this gun was made for HRH you would assume they put their best people on the production. When it was torn down, the workmanship showed. For example the lock internals were hand turned.
