CAESAR GUERINI, INVICTUS Cal. 12/76

Caesar Guerini was founded in 2000 by the Italian brothers Antonio and Giorgio Guerini in the province of Brescia, Italy. In a relatively short time the brand became one of Italy’s leading makers of fine hunting and sporting guns, valued for the very high quality of its steels, its select walnut, its hand or semi-hand engraving and its excellent value for money. The first hunting models were the Figura, Tempio and Magnus series, later followed by the Summit and Invictus sporting ranges.

The gun shown is in very good, near-new condition, with gold-inlaid engraving depicting waterfowl. Barrel bluing: approximately 98-99%; the wood is of superior grade with attractive figure, the engraving and gilding are very well preserved, the ventilated rib is flawless, there are no significant signs of use, and the sling and rubber recoil pad appear to be later additions; calibre: 12/76 Magnum; chamber: 76 mm (3 inch); interchangeable chokes, barrel selector and automatic safety, selective ejectors, approximate weight: 3.2–3.4 kg.
