True Pair of Ivo Fabbri 20g Over/Under Shotguns. Consecultively serial numbered and in identical configurations, this pair of guns were completed in 1986 and built on Fabbri's exceptional "Woodward" type, sidelock ejector action with lined cocking indicators, manual safety, and single non-selective trigger. 

Engraving is by Claudio Tomasoni (signed on each trigger plate) in a classic Italian fantasy engraving motif, a Rococo style of engraving, mixing winged beasts and acanthus vines, roses, ivy, on each lock plate and a the Maker's name in a shield on the bottom of the action surmounting a pair of angels among roses. A common engraving theme interpreted by many of Italy's high end gunmakers. The action is brushed to a "coin" finish and the blank space expertly shaded.

The 26" Vacuum Arc Remelted Steel super-imposed barrels have a vent rib, a single bead at the muzzles. Barrel weight for serial number E621 are 1.050 kg and 1.040 kg on E622, Italian date code on barrels is "AM" for 1984. Barrels have 2 2/4" chambers (70mm) with Bores all measure .625" (15.8mm) and choked .008" in both bottom barrels and .022" in both top barrels. 

Nicely figured stocks both have straight grips, 14 3/8" LOP over checkered butts. The butts, grips, and forends are expertly checkered in extra fine 32 lpi. 

Both guns have been shot but show no tell-tell signs of "double gunning" and remain very good to excellent in their overall condition. Handling marks on both stocks and forends, but no cracks. Barrel's finish remains very good on both guns with no dents and the bores remain excellent. 

Guns weight 5 lbs. 15 oz. and handle just as one would expect from one of the world's finest gunmakers. 

Complete in the Maker's two gun Motor case.
