This Beretta 1000 Tricentennial is a rare limited-edition percussion muzzle-loading over/under shotgun produced in 1980 to celebrate Beretta’s 300th anniversary (1680–1980). Only 300 examples were made, making it a sought-after collector’s piece.
It features 30" barrels choked Modified & Improved Cylinder, case-colored percussion locks and hammers, and a classic straight-grip hardwood stock. The commemorative brass plaque on the underside of the forend reads “1680 Pietro Beretta Gardone 1980.”

Historical Note: Recent discoveries, including the 1526 Document referencing Maestro Bartolomeo Beretta, have extended the company’s documented roots even further back. This allows Beretta to celebrate its 500-year anniversary in 2026 (1526–2026).
Condition is very good overall with pleasing case colors. The barrels show some spotting that should clean well, and there is a small ding in the upper barrel on the left side just ahead of the forend. Mechanically sound and fully functional as a black-powder gun.

A handsome and historically important Beretta commemorative that bridges centuries of the world’s oldest gunmaker. Click “Buy It Now” or contact me today!
