Nice! But there's a Rizzini and then there is a Rizzini!

Go here Gunmaker Italian shotguns - Luciano Bosis

Certainly are, I bludged my way into most of them. Zoli, franchi were good, beretta were wankers and wouldn't let me in. Most interesting was a guy called Poli who builds 30 peices a year, one of the last remaining builders of hammer guns in Europe. Love his sub gauge hammer guns! The engraving was amazing, think 25,000 euro and a years wait to do a game scene on the side plates. Was like looking at a photo
