The rare Beretta S10E, crafted in 1947, stands as a remarkable example of early post-war Italian gunmaking. As a precursor to the famed ASE and ASEL lines, this 20-gauge over/under shotgun represents Beretta’s commitment to both form and function, combining a sleek aesthetic with the engineering precision for which the brand is renowned.
Chambered in 20 gauge with a 2.75" capacity, this shotgun boasts 27.5" barrels choked to Improved Cylinder (.012" of restriction) and Modified (.024"), making it versatile for a range of shooting activities. Its solid rib is topped with a silver front bead sight, facilitating quick target acquisition, while the double triggers offer traditional control over each barrel's firing.
At a lightweight 5 lb 3.1 oz, the S10E is well-balanced, ideal for all-day shooting without sacrificing power. The straight grip, finely checkered walnut stock gives this shotgun a classic English profile, paired with the streamlined elegance of a silver pigeon adorning the top lever. The case-colored action provides a vivid contrast to the overall design, demonstrating the quality of craftsmanship that Beretta was delivering in the immediate post-war period.
The condition of this gun is very good overall, considering its 1947 production year. The bore remains clear, the triggers are crisp, and the action locks up tightly, all signs of a well-preserved shotgun. Ejectors remain strong, further attesting to the gun’s excellent mechanical condition despite its age. Faint wear is visible, typical of a firearm that has seen careful use over the decades.
Rarely seen in the U.S. market, the S10E is a prized find for collectors and enthusiasts. As a direct predecessor to Beretta’s renowned ASE and ASEL models, this shotgun holds a special place in Beretta's storied history, making it a highly sought-after piece. Its blend of functionality, historical significance, and aesthetic beauty ensures its value both as a collectible and a functional firearm.
