Sides of action are engraved with fine Bulino game scenes, a covey of quail flushing from rolling meadow on right. Left side depicts a covey of quail exploding from cover. This fine work is "Bottega C. Giovanelli, Inc. Zatti" whose signature appears at trigger plate. Beautiful, intricately marbled and figured, exhibition quality honey colored European walnut full knob buttstock ends in thin Decelerator brand pad and buttstock is checkered in two point pattern through the wrist. Well cut point pattern checkering with line borders is at grip. Matching slim one piece forend has Deeley type release. Housed in an original dark brown Perazzi hard case with choke tubes.
