Luigi Franchi ''Veloce'' Over/Under Boxlock Shotgun, #9003611, 28 ga., 2-3/4'' chs., 26'' polished blue finish barrels with matted 1/4'' ventilated top rib and single front white bead, with ventilated side ribs extending from the forend tip and three interchangeable chokes (F, IC, CYL). Silver nitride finished alloy frame has etched scrolls and forest scenes bordering a gold-applied grouse on each frame side, with gold-plated single trigger, ejectors and combination top tang automatic safety with barrel selector. Pistol-grip stock and fingergroove forend are lightly figured open-grain walnut with an oil finish; length of pull is 14-3/8'' over a 3/8'' black rubber recoil pad, weight is 6 lbs.; the production date code is 2002. Mechanical condition is very good showing light use and assembly marks, with tight action and bright bores. Barrels and ribs have been affected by storage conditions resulting in overall scattered oxidation and pitting; oxidation on the left side ribs ahead of the forend has been partially removed with a light abrasive which has reduced the blue finish. Wood finish remains near excellent with a few small scratches. The original factory case and paperwork are included. Est.: $400-$700. (Modern)
