Gorgeous Pair of Factory L. Vibrioni Signed and Engraved Perazzi 20 Gauge
SC3 Over/Under Shotguns with Case
-A) Perazzi SC3 Shotgun - Serial no. 138568, 20 gauge, 30 3/4 inch vent rib bbl., blue/
coin finish, walnut stock. Perazzi makes some of the finest handling and shooting guns
in the world. This pair is an excellent example of the quality of work one expects to
see when they hear the name Perazzi. Each gun in the pair was built with blued steel
barrels featuring a single bead sight on the matted flat vent rib which is marked at the
base with a gold inlaid “1” or “2”, standard Perazzi markings at the left of the breech,
light engraving around the upper chamber area, 2007 dated Italian proofs, threads
for interchangeable chokes (none installed or included), and 2 3/4 inch chambers
with automatic ejectors. The barrels of both guns are mated to a highly attractive coin
finished triggerplate action which displays near full coverage floral scroll engraving
which extends to the triggerguard and toplever, which is inlaid with a gold “1” or “2”.
The guns are both signed “L. VIBRIONI” on the triggerplate to the right of the trigger.
Each gun features a single non-selective gold plated trigger and a tang mounted
automatic safety with a gold “S” safety indicator. The guns are both fitted with an
attractively figured and multi-point checkered forend with engraved forend iron and a
gold “1” or “2” on the Deeley style release, as well as a pistol grip stock with horn heel
and toe plates around a checkered bare butt. Included is a factory takedown case that
houses both guns. Barrel and stock measurements (U/O): bore diameter nine inches
from the breech both proofed and measured at 15.9mm (.626 inches); minimum wall
