Key Facts and Specifications
Model & Maker: Beretta Model 412 (also known as Companion/FS-1), handcrafted in Italy by Pietro Beretta.
Serial Number: C104353 (consistent with mid-century production; comparable examples dated 1957–1960).
Gauge: 20 gauge – perfect for manageable recoil and small-game pursuits.
Action: Single-shot, top-break folding design with secondary forward trigger for quick barrel release and fold-down storage.
Barrel: 28 inches, blued steel with a matte top rib to minimize shooting glare; fixed modified choke for versatile patterning on clays or game birds; excellent bore condition with no pitting.
Chamber: 2¾ inches – handles standard field loads effortlessly.
Stock & Forend: High-grade European walnut, hand-checkered for positive grip; classic pistol grip and straight comb with subtle oil finish highlighting the rich grain; minor handling marks add authentic character without detracting from playability.
Receiver & Metal Finish: Satin-polished alloy receiver with 95%+ original bluing on barrel and accents; engraved \"Pietro Beretta – Made in Italy\" and patent details; silver lever pivot for smooth operation.
Weight: Approximately 6–6.5 lbs. – feather light for all-day carry, yet balanced for instinctive pointing.
Overall Condition: Very good to excellent (80–90% original finish). Light surface scratches on wood from field use, but tight action, crisp checkering, and vibrant bluing speak to careful stewardship. No cracks, dents, or functional issues; folds and locks securely. Includes original ribbed recoil pad.
As with all firearms, professional inspection by a gunsmith is recommended before firing.
