Finely struck demi-bloc barrels fitted, with slightly raised solid matted rib, are engraved “Abbiatico & Salvinelli” on top left. Barrel flats are stamped with 2008 Italian nitro proofs. Coin finished low profile over-under action features non-automatic safety ("SAFE" inlaid in gold). Action is engraved with near full coverage scroll. This interesting motif is in deeper relief on fences and on boss style forend iron. Scroll which extends to trigger guard and grip cap is by “J. Volpi” whose signature is on right side of trigger group housing. Top lever is pierced in floral design. Exhibition quality honey colored marbled and burl figured Circassian Walnut capped pistol grip buttstock with checkered wood butt. A long tang trigger guard extends from rear of firing group housing to steel grip cap. Tang and top of cap are engraved matching action. Well cut two point pattern borderless checkering is at grip. Matching one piece small forend with iron shaped to resemble boss ejector system, has Anson type release. Excellent as very lightly field used. Lightest handling marks on wood and metal, with some very minor finish lifting noted on right side of stock and beginning toning noted on trigger guard tang. Bores are bright and shiny, mechanics feel somewhat stiff.
