The Piotti Monaco Sidelock Game Gun, produced in 1974, is a prime example of Italian craftsmanship from the esteemed house of Piotti. This 12 gauge shotgun, bearing the serial number 6520-1, features a 28.25-inch barrel and is designed with a sidelock action equipped with ejectors and a single trigger. The shotgun's chokes are set to light modified at .010" and full at .037", offering versatility for various shooting scenarios.
This elegant firearm boasts a drop at comb (DAC) of 1.25 inches and a drop at heel (DAH) of 1.75 inches, with a length of pull (LOP) of 14.5 inches, providing a comfortable and tailored fit for the shooter. Weighing in at 6 pounds 14 ounces, the Piotti Monaco is well-balanced, making it ideal for game shooting. The hand-filed, matted concave tapering (10mm-6mm) solid top rib is complemented by a silver front bead sight, enhancing aiming precision.
In terms of condition, the Piotti Monaco is in excellent overall shape. The action is tight, and the barrels ring true with solid soldering throughout, indicating superior construction and maintenance. The coin finish is bright, and the scroll engraving remains sharp, highlighting the detailed craftsmanship. The sidelocks are marked "PIOTTI" and feature beautiful scroll engraving on the coin-finished sidelock action, bolsters, borders, and bottom chevron. Bushed strikers add to the firearm's reliability and precision.
The dark-grained walnut stock and beavertail forend feature ultra-fine diamond point checkering, enhancing grip and aesthetic appeal. The English straight grip design adds a classic touch, and the forend includes a Piotti coat-of-arms escutcheon inlay, further accentuating its heritage and elegance. The wood retains all its original finish, having been properly seasonally maintained with a fresh coat of oil. The ejectors are strong and in-time, and the bores are clear, reflecting meticulous care over the years. The trigger is crisp, ensuring a responsive shooting experience.
This Piotti Monaco is not just a functional firearm but a work of art, representing the pinnacle of Italian gun-making. It is an early and highly desirable Monaco grade gun, characterized by good dimensions and great style. Owning such a piece is a testament to the appreciation of fine craftsmanship and heritage in the world of shotguns. The replacement cost from Piotti today would be well over $30,000!
