Condition

Specific Condition Notes: The top lever is cracked and needs replacement. Barrel fit is good with ample life in the locking lug. The ejectors are slightly out of time. There are subtle scuffs and scratches. Overall, the shotgun presents well.
Barrels are marked "Benelli Armi S.p.A. Made in Italy" with Italian proof marks including the Gardone crest and "PSF." The monoblock is stamped "cal 12/76," confirming 3 inch chambering, and the bore dimension stamp reads "18.3." The U.S. import mark is "IMPORTED BY BENELLI USA CORP."
The receiver wears a coin/silver finish with factory-applied engraving: extensive scrollwork framing game-bird scene panels. Barrels are blued and topped with a ventilated rib leading to a front bead sight for a clean, traditional sight picture.
This over/under uses a break-action with a single trigger and automatic ejectors. The barrels are threaded for interchangeable chokes, and this setup is configured with IC, M, and F choke options. Chambering accepts both 3 inch and 2-3/4 inch shells, providing flexibility across loads.
The stock is checkered walnut with a pistol grip and a rubber recoil pad, measuring a 14.5 inch length of pull. A Deeley-style forend latch secures the forend, rounding out a classic Italian field gun configuration with practical handling details.
