About the Guns: A matched set of pinless sidelock shotguns, 12, 20, 28, .410, each with its frame, sealed to the individual gauge.
The barrel length is 28" of demi-bloc construction. The assembly and engraving of these guns took almost seven years.
Abbiatico & Salvinelli is the only Italian gun maker to offer the four distinct frame sizes for 12, 20, 28 and .410 in a pinless sidelock over and under.
Each gun is carefully matched in barrel length and stocking.
About the Engraver: A fine artist, a student of nature, and highly skilled engraver, Cesario Greco, working Bulino style in pointallism and with
minimum of line, he creates unsurpassed compositions with only the pressure of his hand to cut steel. It is obvious even to the untrained eye he has an extraordinary grasp of form and the unique gift of
composition as figures meld together in a masterful collage.
About the Company: Abbiatico & Salvinelli has long been considered one of the great Italian makers and certainly the most prolific in design.
They have offered an unparalleled number of variations of shotguns and rifles and have pioneered numerous innovations improving the traditional lock mechanisms. Most notably, the pinless sidelock can be credited to them.
