This Beretta S3 is in very good overall condition, showing faint wear consistent with its age and gentle use. The bores are clear, the action operates smoothly and locks up tight, and the ejectors remain strong and functional. The triggers are crisp, ensuring reliable and precise shooting.
The European walnut stock, with its striking dark, straight grain, is in excellent condition with only minor handling marks. The checkering on the straight grip and forend is sharp and well-preserved. The checkered walnut buttplate and blank initial oval add a touch of elegance to the design.
The case-colored sidelock action, renowned for its craftsmanship, retains approximately 50% of its original case color, while the remainder of the shotgun maintains 99% of its original finish, a testament to the care taken with this firearm.
This 1966 Beretta S3 is a rare, collector-grade shotgun that combines stunning aesthetics with top-tier functionality. Featuring hand-detachable sidelocks, a double trigger mechanism, and pristine craftsmanship, this shotgun represents the pinnacle of mid-century Beretta production.
Whether displayed as a centerpiece in a collection or used in the field, the S3 remains a timeless and elegant example of Beretta’s legacy. Its condition and craftsmanship make it an unparalleled opportunity for any discerning collector or enthusiast.
