This Gen 1 Super Black Eagle is identifiable by its early rollmark (no II/3 designation) and the absence of ComforTech chevrons. It is a true left-handed configuration, offering left-side advantages in operation and handling. The shotgun is full-size with a 28-inch vent-rib barrel and a camo finish carried across the receiver, barrel, stock, and forend.
Benelli's inertia-driven operating system with a rotating bolt head provides reliable cycling, and the 3.5-inch chamber is compatible with 2.75-, 3-, and 3.5-inch 12-gauge shells. Capacity is 3+1. The barrel is threaded for Benelli's interchangeable choke system (choke tube not shown), giving flexibility for different shot patterns.
Sighting is straightforward with a single red front bead on the vent rib. The alloy receiver keeps weight down while maintaining durability. The synthetic stock and forend wear the matching camo finish and include a Benelli-branded recoil pad for comfort. Sling swivel studs are installed on the magazine cap and stock for carry convenience.
Controls are practical and familiar, with a cross-bolt safety. The length of pull measures 14.0 inches, suiting a wide range of shooters. The left-handed layout is an important detail for southpaw shooters seeking proper ejection and ergonomics in a factory-configured shotgun.
Markings include Italian proof marks (crowned PSF) and a two-letter date code in a square, along with the Benelli U.S.A. Corp., Accokeek, MD — Made in Italy import stamp, providing clear manufacturing and import provenance.
