Extraordinary Carlo Pasotti Engraved Perazzi MX-8 SCO Sideplate Combination Trap Shotgun Set, #68576, 12 gauge, 2-3/4'' chambers, 18.4mm bores, having a 34'' top single barrel with an extra-full marked .045'' fixed choke and 31-1/2'' over/under barrels, without side ribs, marked with fixed full .040'' and modified .020'' chokes. Both barrel sets are serial numbered to the frame, with 1986 Italian date codes, and are finished in high-polish blue with matted 11x11mm ventilated top ribs, red fiber-optic front sights and steel middle beads, with chambers gold inlaid, ''IMPORTER-PERAZZI-USA'', ''ROME-NEW YORK''. Coin-finished action has incomparable, full coverage bulino engraving on the sideplates and underside, presenting in elegant and almost infinite detail, three beautifully composed variations of the Perazzi in-house wildfowl patterns illustrating ducks in flight over reeded shorelines, style numbers 31, 36 and 63, complemented by frame borders with extremely fine interlaced scrolls and vines encircling floral bouquets, which follow to the blued forend iron, triggerguard, top lever and manual safety slide. The removable trigger group is serial numbered to the frame and features a selectable inertia trigger with length of pull adjustment, gold plated components and ''V'' springs. Monte Carlo flared pistol-grip stock and target forend are satin-finished highly-figured caramel-colored Turkish walnut with swirling black grain and 32 line-per-inch checkering. Length of pull as configured is 14-3/8'' over a brown 1'' Perazzi ventilated recoil pad. Drop at comb is 1-3/8'', drop at MC is 1-3/8'' and drop at heel is 2-1/8'', assembled weight with the 31-1/2'' barrels is 8-5/8 lbs. Included with the set is a red Perazzi ABS combination lock case by Negrini, with stock tool. Condition is practically new, showing no apparent use. Frame and bores retain their original factory polish lustre with just a few small handling marks on the stock. Est.: $35,000-$45,000. (Modern)
