The Cosmi Extra Lusso, produced in 1977, represents the absolute pinnacle of Italian gunmaking—where extraordinary mechanical innovation meets true fine-art engraving. Chambered in 20 gauge, this masterpiece utilizes Cosmi’s legendary break-action semi-automatic system, with the magazine housed within the buttstock, offering a 7+1 capacity while preserving the balance and elegance of a traditional break-open gun. The 25.5" Böhler Antinit steel barrel, choked Modified (.018"), provides excellent versatility in the field, while the gun’s refined proportions and 6 lb 15 oz weight deliver the lively handling expected of a best-quality 20 bore.
This Extra Lusso example is elevated to an entirely different level by its signed bulino engraving by master engraver Fabbrizioli, executed with exceptional depth, realism, and composition across the coin-finished receiver. The left side features a beautifully detailed pair of English setters on point, intently locked on scent, leading into a secondary scene of three woodcock rising from cover, capturing the tension and movement of the hunt. The underside of the action showcases two dramatic vignettes: a fox leaping upward toward a flushing pheasant, frozen mid-action, and a hawk descending on a grouse, conveying speed and predatory precision. The right side continues the narrative with a serene marsh scene of three ducks in flight, paired with a covey of five quail moving through open field, each bird rendered with lifelike texture and motion. These scenes are seamlessly framed and unified by fine, flowing scroll engraving that extends across the action, top tang, and top lever, demonstrating Fabbrizioli’s mastery.
Condition is excellent, with the shotgun retaining nearly all of its original finishes and showing only the faintest signs of handling. The bore is clear, the action operates with Cosmi’s signature smoothness, and the trigger is crisp. The barrel exhibits the subtle plum tone characteristic of Cosmi’s finish, while the exhibition-grade straight-grip walnut stock displays beautiful figure and sharp checkering. Housed in its original fitted leather case with green velvet interior, complete with maker’s label and Cosmi tool, this gun is as complete as it is exceptional. With over 100 hand-fitted components machined from solid billet, the Cosmi is widely regarded as the most sophisticated semi-automatic shotgun ever built—this Extra Lusso example stands as both a functional firearm and a true work of art.
