PRICE REDUCTION!!!!!!!!
Built in 1978, this single trigger, automatic ejector, hammer gun is truly a work of art.  The gun has 27 1/2" barrels with narrow slightly raised tapered rib with small brass front bead, choked 4/10-9/10. The barrels have small gold bands at breach ends and are engraved on the top of the left tube "Abbiattico & Salvinelli".  Barrel flats with 1978 proof date, makers names on lug, and marked with A & S proof.  Beaded action is superbly polished with gold line work throughout.  The hammers are fabulously sculpted and engraved in a deep relief floral pattern.  The engraving extends from the front of the frame and bolsters to the trigger plate which is engraved with a royal mythical face and very deep relief.  Bottom of the action engraved with gold "Castore" in crown pattern surrounding it.  The trigger guard tang is beaded on the right side and relief engraved with scroll and mythical face.  The long tang trigger guard shows the same fantastically executed deep relief scroll pattern.  The top lever shows incredible piercing of a mythical bird with super relief engraving that extends to the tang and top safety. Ahead of the safety is a gold inlayed "S". All metal parts are exquisitely, finely polished.  Engravers signature "G. Pedretti, Inc." found in front of the trigger guard bow.  Straight grip butt stock with tear drops behind locks is checkered in two point pattern through the wrist and terminates with a finely checkered butt.  The stock measures 14 1/2" from the trigger to the end of the butt.  Semi-beavertail forend is checkered in three point pattern with gold makers crest at center and has an Anson type push button release.  Forend tip shows frame with gold line work and carving near tip.  Gun is housed in a light brown A & S labeled case with red velvet interior.  Within the case is the original order card with the gun from A & S describing it as is.  Also included 28 ga. snap caps, oil bottle and cleaning rod.  Condition of the gun: new - unfired. Case is in very good condition with some water stains on the outside and straps showing some wear.  This is a very classy gun with incredible chisled engraving by one of the world's best and would be a hoot to use in the field!
