In the fine gun world the name LUCIANO BOSIS has clout. Having worked for Perazzi for years and gaining the highest of skill levels, Bosis began building his own guns in 1977. So well were his creations received, Luciano Bosis was soon backlogged with orders from the connoisseurs of the BEST GUN world. Employing old world craftsman and creating only the very best firearms, Mr. Bosis has never slowed down. Located in Travagliato near Brescia, Fabbrica Armi di Luciano Bosis has spent the last thirty years producing best quality sporting guns for an exclusive clientele. His current work force consists of six in-house craftsmen who are supplemented when required by select independent specialists. His keen eye, technical expertise and quest for perfection have produced sporting guns that have earned him an international reputation for their fine design and superb performance. This superb example is one of the few PINLESS SIDELOCK side by side creations from Bosis, proofed in 1998, and remaining in 99% as new condition. The workmanship is flawless. When examining the fit of wood to metal and metal to metal it is as if these parts grew together through some unnatural process. The features you would expect on a BEST Italian gun are all present, ie. hand filed and sculpted frame, beaded fences, removable striker discs, stocked to the fences, chopper lump barrels struck smooth to perfection, exhibition burl walnut in a hand-rubbed oil finish; all without flaw. The effect of a PINLESS sidelock cannot be understated. The engraver’s palette is uninterrupted and flows gracefully with nearly 100% coverage of elaborate and supremely executed fine scroll by Carlo Pasotti, one of Italy’s master engravers. The specifications can be seen below and show this gun to be the epitome of a fine upland gun. Weighing that perfect 6 ¼ pounds and balanced dead on the hinge pin, she handles like a Ferarri and is a stunningly beautiful shotgun for your clays and upland pursuits. This gun shows as new, housed in a fine maker’s case, and is offered at a small fraction of ordering a new gun from any of the masters of the world today. Examine the photos and you will agree.
