Manufactured in Italy, this exquisite firearm features a hand detachable sidelock over/under action with ejectors and a single non-selective trigger, identified by serial number 32752. Chambered for 12 gauge 2.75" shells, this shotgun comes with two sets of barrels. The first set, measuring 28 inches, is choked modified with .029" of restriction and full with .045" of restriction. The second set, at 30 inches, is choked modified with .018" of restriction and full with .035" of restriction. This versatility makes it suitable for various shooting activities. The stock dimensions include a drop at comb (DAC) of 1.375 inches, a drop at heel (DAH) of 1.5625 inches, and a length of pull (LOP) of 14.5 inches, ensuring a comfortable fit for the shooter. The overall weight of the shotgun is 7 pounds 14 ounces, providing a balanced and manageable handling experience. The first barrel set features a matted tapering vent rib with a silver front bead sight, while the second set is equipped with a grooved straight vent rib and a red fiber front sight. Both sets of barrels come with their individual forends, and all parts are serial number matched, highlighting the meticulous attention to detail. Engraved by the renowned Master Engraver Firmo Fracassi, the coin-finished hand detachable sidelock action boasts full coverage floral and scroll engraving over a finely matted background, extending to the top lever, tangs, and trigger guard. This extensive and beautifully executed engraving work significantly enhances the aesthetic appeal and value of the shotgun. The cost of a Fracassi engraved gun starts at $50,000, and the full coverage work on this gun is an extraordinary example of his artistry. With Firmo Fracassi having passed away, his work has become even more desirable among collectors. The Beretta S3 EL is in excellent overall condition with faint wear typical of storage and handling. The action is smooth, and the lock-up is tight for both sets of barrels. The trigger is crisp, and the ejectors are strong, showcasing the superior mechanical quality of this firearm. The rare checkered face single trigger adds a unique touch to its functionality. The beautiful European walnut stock features dark straight grain running through the pistol grip, complemented by an orange recoil pad. This shotgun comes in a leather case designed to accommodate both barrel sets, ensuring safe and stylish transport. This Beretta S3 EL is a fantastic example of fine Italian gunmaking, perfect for collectors and discerning shooters who appreciate a blend of exceptional craftsmanship, historical significance, and artistic beauty.
