VINCENZO BERNARDELLI ANSON BOXLOCK EJECTOR - 12 GAUGE - 27 1/2" - 1975

Description:
Vincenzo Bernardelli Anson Boxlock Ejector – 12 Gauge – 27 1/2" – 1975 – Lightweight Italian Field Gun
Offered here is a classic Vincenzo Bernardelli Anson boxlock ejector 12 gauge, manufactured in 1975 (date code “AA”). This is a well-balanced, lightweight Italian double built with traditional styling and solid mechanical design—ideal for upland hunting or a refined field gun.
This example features Acciaio Special Extra Chrome barrels measuring 27 1/2", with excellent original finish and mirror bores. Chokes measure Modified (.021) in the right barrel and Full (.040) in the left, providing a versatile field configuration.
The action is tastefully finished with rose and scroll engraving and incorporates a Purdey-style rib extension along with a double underbite lockup and reinforced lump-through-action design, offering added strength and durability. The gun remains tight on face with smooth lockup, and the Southgate ejector system is strong and properly timed.
The straight grip stock is paired with a beavertail forend, giving the gun a comfortable and controllable feel in the hands. The stock shows honest finish wear and some finish loss, but retains sharp, well-defined checkering and is free of cracks.
