Description:
A highly collectible FAMARS bespoke shotgun, this 1983 Italian-proofed example represents the elite craftsmanship, artistry, and innovation that made Abbiatico & Salvinelli one of the most respected names in fine sporting arms.

FAMARS was founded in 1967 by Mario Abbiatico and Remo Salvinelli
