Old World Craftsmanship - 1951 Beretta Side Lock – Engraved by Slatnik!
In 1951, this gun would have been on anyone’s short list of the Finest Over-Under Shotguns to be had at any price!
A Wonderful 12ga Upland Game Gun.
Beretta S3EL - Made in 1951– 12ga, 2-3/4”, 27-1/2" Ejector Barrels with a Solid Rib, Choked IC/IC (.005/.008), Double Triggers, Straight Grip, Slim Field Forearm. LOP is 14-1/2” over a very nicely done pad, with drop of 1-3/8” to 2-1/8”. Weight – 6 lbs. 15 oz.
This gun has been very carefully and professionally restored. All finishes were painstakingly returned to very near factory finishes. I can find no fault with this gun – no cracks in the wood, no areas of damage to metal finishes covered over. I’ve fired the gun, and it functions perfectly.
