The A&S Famars Africa Model, serial AF001, stands as a pinnacle of modern Italian double-rifle artistry—an extraordinary two-barrel set built by Abbiatico & Salvinelli at the height of their craftsmanship. Purpose-built for the professional hunter, the traveling sportsman, or the collector who demands the very best, this rifle offers unmatched versatility with its interchangeable .470 Nitro Express and 9.3x74R barrel sets, each perfectly fit with its own forend and express sighting system. Built in 2012, the rifle remains in very good overall condition, showing only faint, honest wear from careful use. Both bores are bright with sharp rifling, the triggers break cleanly, the ejectors are strong and perfectly timed, and the action locks up tight.
The bolstered action is a work of art in its own right, fully sculpted and adorned with deep relief scroll engraving by master engraver L. Bertella, accented tastefully in gold and signed beside the trigger guard. The extended bottom tang and trap-door pistol-grip cap highlight the meticulous detail found only on the finest bespoke guns. The 24" .470 NE barrels deliver the classic dangerous-game profile, featuring a matted quarter rib with a 50-yard gold-line standing express sight and flip-up 75- and 100-yard leaves, paired with a ramped front sight and flip-up moon bead. The rifle balances beautifully at 11 lb 3 oz, absorbing recoil while still maintaining handling elegance. The lighter 9.3x74R barrels—ideal for plains game, leopard, or European big game—mirror the same express sighting system but add swing-away scope mount bases, giving you both iron-sight speed and optic precision. At 10 lb 5.1 oz, this configuration makes the rifle wonderfully versatile across continents and species.
The deluxe walnut stock is classic Famars: perfectly shaped, richly grained, sharply checkered, and finished with a right-handed cheekpiece and orange recoil pad. Each barrel set is paired with its own fitted forend for proper balance and aesthetics. The stock and forends show only light handling marks, consistent with respectful field use. Everything about this rifle speaks to the highest level of bespoke Italian gunmaking—from its mechanical integrity to its artistic execution.
A&S Famars built only a small number of rifles at this level, and an Africa Model—especially serial number AF001—is seldom seen on the market. For the hunter who dreams of pursuing buffalo in Tanzania, eland in Cameroon, or boar in the oak forests, this is one gun capable of doing it all with style and authority. A true gentleman’s dangerous-game rifle—one rifle to hunt all of Africa.
