69 cm chopper-lump barrels, concave, engine-turned rib, bright action with full-coverage finest Bulino engraving of game scenes surrounded by baroque floral scroll, woodcock in alluvial forest on the left, French partridges before hillside on the right and black grouse on a moor on action bottom, signed in the trigger guard “Inc. Botta“, bar-action sidelocks, cocking indicators and intercepting sears, disc-set strikers with gas-vents, sliding tang safety, single trigger, straight hand, contrasting grained Turkish walnut stock with fine chequering, drop points and engraved steel corners on heel and toe, LOP 37.5 cm, fore-end with Anson push-rod, gold inlaid maker's coat of arms engraved with initials "MG", blank gold stock oval, 2.9 kg, year of manufacture 2005, condition 2. This rather small scale producer is still sort of an insider's secret tip in Gardone. The masterpiece at hand proofs that he has no reason to hide behind the most famous names in regard of his quality standards. A marvellous gun with slight signs of use.
