italian over under shotgun (photos added)
can one of the resident experts give me a hand on what i have?
it has made in italy FABBRICA arm looks like faust s{burp}ano(the stamp is kinda light on the faust s{burp}ano part) under that stamp is marcheno vt (bs) that is all on the right side of the reciever.
on the left is i believe the importer. excam corp-hialeah, florida with something underneath that i cant read. can only see the bottem of the letters. looks like it says do not use firearms untill you read instructions. but im not certain.
the reciever and trigger gard are fully ingraved with a checkerd stock. id say in 90-95% condition. with a few very light dings on the stock. sorry i dont have any pics. thanks for any help

why cant i type that as a word?0 -
Fausti?
I have one, no engraving and flat black. Others I've seen all have engraving and silver sides.
Very happy with mine - close to 1k rounds thru it at the skeet and trap club, still *very* tight to open/close. You can get extra choke tubes from a few places. Trigger selector - to the left is bottom barrel first.0 -

It has something to do with the auto censor which prevents profanity...Or something that the auto censor thinks is going to be profane. I've yet to figure it out! Your shotgun is a Fausti Stefano and these are fine quality guns. There are dozens of different grades/models so values depend on what features the gun has.0 -
what do i need to look for to determine grade? i dont see a model number anywhere. just a serial number
i take that back. i just took off the wood foreend and i seewhat loks like cam. 70on the underside of the upper barrel and kgi 320 on the top side of the lower barrel.
great. now i cant get the barrel back into place. dang this shotgun is tight.[B)]0 -
The 70 means that it is chambered for 2-3/4" shells. Without photos determining the model and grade would be very difficult. 0 -
sorry first if there large first time posting

Looks like one of their Leader Sporting models, but the engraving does not match any of the O/Us I have in their catalogs so it was probably a variation made up expressly for the importer. Nice shotgun and should be great out on the field. 0 -
You basically have a standard production grade, fixed choke, top lock, italian made over and under. With 2 triggers I would suspect that it does not have auto ejectors. These guns were made to look good and function good, for not alot of money. Zoli made alot of these type guns. Hunt with it and enjoy it.

Cartod - mine is a newer one, selective trigger and screw in chokes, and it does not have ejectors either - just extractors.0 -
The gun is a "Fausti Stefano". Great images. I have nothing to add on the gun itself.
For what its worth, the Gunbroker autocensor is choking on the letter combination T-F-F and replacing it with the silly term "burp".
"t-f-f" is internet slang for "Too f--king funny", and that's probably why its tripping the filter.
I don't have any problem in principle with the autofilter, but in my opinion filtering ACRONYMS for profanity is silly.
The acronyms stand in as substitutes for profanity, and not only is filtering them unnecessary, it can be counterproductive (as is the case in the original post).
Note that "BS" and "BFD" aren't filtered here.0
