Piotti King #1 12ga. – 99% CASE COLOR, CASED EXHIBITION WOOD

Description:
Piotti King #1 12 Gauge Side by Side
99% CASE COLOR, CASED, EXHIBITION WOOD

General Specs: Piotti, Year 1991, 12 Gauge, 6lbs 13oz, SxS
Serial Number: 9032

Piotti shotguns are considered Italian "BEST" guns and are equal to any double guns made in the world.  Some say they even surpass a Purdey!  A full sidelock Holland style action, engraved by Italy's best, stocked to the fences, chopper lump barrels, all combine to make a fine game or clays gun.  This Piotti, sn9032 made in 1991, has exhibition custom ordered factory upgraded wood, gold shield in forend, blank gold shield in belly of stock, 27" barrels, 6lbs. 13oz., balanced on the hinge pin for dynamic handling, and the original factory case.  This is a gun that would cost $46,830 if ordered new today at 2017 prices from William Larkin Moore. This is a grand investment, and will continue to grow in value as the price of new guns like it increase.  Buying a fine Piotti at less than half price is the way to go!
