This is an exquisite Stephano Fausti DEA Sideplated Boxlock Shotgun in 20 gauge, crafted by Fausti Stefano Arms in Brescia, Italy. The serial number B39371 suggests production in the late 1990s to early 2000s, aligning with Fausti’s production timeline for the DEA model during this period. Founded in 1948 by Stefano Fausti, the company is renowned for its high-quality shotguns, now managed by his daughters, Elena, Giovanna, and Barbara. The DEA, meaning “goddess” in Italian, is a premium field gun known for its lightweight design and elegant craftsmanship, featuring an Anson & Deeley boxlock action with ornamental sideplates. Its historical significance lies in Fausti’s reputation for producing finely crafted shotguns that compete with top-tier European makers, appealing to hunters and collectors for upland game and sporting use. The 20-gauge configuration and 2 3/4" chambers make it ideal for versatile field shooting.

This example is in very fine condition, with refinished browned barrels retaining a rich finish and excellent bores, indicating minimal use and meticulous care. The coin-finished receiver and locks, adorned with gold-inlaid oak leaves, showcase intricate detailing, while the oil-finished walnut straight stock, with a 14 1/4" LOP to the trigger (14" to stock end), exhibits minor handling marks but remains elegant. The double triggers and automatic ejectors function flawlessly, ensuring reliable performance. Weighing approximately 5.5–6 lbs, this shotgun is well-balanced for field use. All markings, including the Fausti logo and serial number, are crisp and legible.
