Price realised:
n. a.
Beschreibung:

Diminutive bead on matted raised solid rib. Simple floral lined borders over breech. Left side of top barrel with "Luciano Bosis Brescia Made in Italy." Underside of bottom barrel with an ace of spades in an oval and "R. Luterotti." Barrels with Italian proofs appropriate for a 20 gauge with 2 - 3/4" chambers. Barrel flats also marked with "BSA-Millbrook-NY" indicating importation by British Sporting Arms. Also included is serial number, "Made in Italy" and "L. Bosis." CB Italian date code for 2007 manufacture. Forearm with Anson style release with cruciform escutcheon around release, extremely well engraved with florals on a blackened punch dot background. Forearm is checkered with point pattern. Uncheckered central diamond with a crown over a lion on a Heraldic shield over "Luciano" / "Brescia" / "Bosis." Exterior of iron engraved en suite with cruciform escutcheon. Small tear drop escutcheon toward iron also engraved en suite. Interior of iron marked "402" and "L. Bosis." Pinless sidelock action engraved with nearly total coverage of well executed flowing tendrils, florals, and bouquets. Engraving signed near trigger guard. Trigger guard and tang engraved en suite with serial number on tang. Top tang engraved en suite. "L. Bosis" engraved in ribbon on floorplate. Automatic safety, single non-selective inertia driven trigger. Interior of receiver with "402", "L. Bosis" and appropriate Italian proofs. Stock with attractive marblecake figure has tear drops behind action and is checkered in point pattern through English style straight grip. Vacant gold oval along belly. Butt completely checkered. Housed in a brown leather Nizzoli case with canvas wrap and leather fringe. Wine colored interior with Bosis trade label and lid and accessories comprising three piece cleaning rod, cleaning tools, case colored cocking rod tool with spare strikers and tumblers, torque wrench, and a machined walnut wedge. CONDITION: Extremely fine, retaining virtually all of its finish on the barrels, with a few extremely minor marks from handling and operation. One slight area of discoloration on left side of rib near breeches. Forearm is excellent and in commensurate condition with barrels with a few extremely minor marks with a touch of crazing to finish near tear drop escutcheon. Receiver is very good, showing no appreciable wear with crisp engraving. Stock is excellent, again, with a few minor marks but nothing serious. Action works appropriately when cycled by hand. Bores are excellent, smooth and bright. Ejectors are in time. Case and accessories are excellent, and show no appreciable wear. Leather case with some scuffing, pressure marks, and one tear towards bottom on right side. Canvas cover is very good, with some scuffs, marks, and some slight peeling to fringe. There is no left zipper. This is a wonderful and extremely well engraved shotgun, sure to be a centerpiece of any collection.
