Description:
PIOTTI Model 'Monaco' Finest Light Weight Game Guns
This true matched pair of Piotti Monaco 12 gauge Sidelock Ejector light weight game guns bear consecutive serial numbers and are exquisitely border engraved in a very fine vine and floral pattern. Each gun is signed by the legendary Italian Master Engraver Patelli. They are cased in finest Italian Leather with all accessories and a full set of pins and springs fitted and numbered to each gun!
The Set: This fine matched pair of 7 pin sidelock game guns have 28” chopper lump barrels with finely cross filed and tapered game ribs and fixed chokes suitable for clays or driven bird hunting. They have diamond shaped, straight grip, English stocks with splinter forends made of 4X Turkish walnut with very fine and tasteful 28 lpi checkering and checkered butts. Double triggers (front hinged) and automatic ejectors, bushed firing pins, automatic safeties and gold line cocking indicators. The stocks measure 14-1/2” from the front trigger to the center of the checkered butt, with about 2-1/4” of drop at heel and 1-1/2” at the comb, slightly cast off for right hand shooter. They each weigh 6 pounds, 10 ounces. Each gun is inlaid numbered in gold in three places and each forend has the exquisite gold inlaid Piotti initial shield. Makers new gun certificate with all specifications are included with the sale along with the original studio photo set.
The case & accessories: Finest custom made Italian leather two gun case fitted to these guns with Piotti flannel socks for each gun. The case contains all original and complete accessories including two pairs of Piotti snap caps, Piotti oil bottle, cleaning rod with attachments, and an extra set of numbered and pre fitted springs and pins for each gun (a rare and expensive accessory).
The condition: Both guns remain in perfect mechanical condition showing very little use for driven shooting. The diamond shaped stocks remain very fine condition with just a few scattered handling marks, no cracks, splits or major dents. The checkering remains sharp and very finely done. The barrels show some blue thinning and a few handing marks, but no damage or dents. The bores are bright and shiny with no rust and never polished. The satin coin finished receivers show only a couple smudges that could buff out but really do not detract. No repairs have ever been needed to either gun and the entire set remains in fine condition.
The Price: Reduced to $59,000 for the complete outfit.
The Value: The replacement cost for a comparable cased bespoke matched pair of Piotti Monaco SLE game guns and accessories would be about 3 times my asking price and there would be a considerable wait to get them. You could be shooting these beauties next week!
The Terms: Cash, Certified Check, Personal Check. Partial trades for gold bars or certain fine Colt SAA revolvers might be considered. As a private seller, I do not collect sales tax. Three day inspection before transfer at receiving FFL premises. Returnable for full refund if not as described and pictured. Buyer to pay insured UPS or Fedex ground shipping and all transfer costs.

The other 10 photos are contemporary and were taken by seller.
