Ivo Fabbri 20g Over/Under Engraved by Mario Terzi and Frederique Lepinois.  

An exceptional example of one of the finest guns produced in the World today. Completed in the early 21^st century and based on the Fabbri "Woodward" type o/u action with expertly filed detonation and pinless lock plates, engraved by the Italian Master engraver Mario Terzi and Frederique Lepinois featuring the busts of English Setters and  English Pointers on either lock plate and what are no doubt Yellow Labs on the bottom of the action in bulino engraving among a fantasy vine and trumpet pattern layered on top of a shading done by a very fine, almost microscopic fine scroll, interspersed with various American game birds. This is a remarkable engraving that is complex, expertly executed and very recognizable. 

The 28” Vacuum Arc Remelting Steel demi-block barrels are flawlessly struck with a smooth, solid game rib.

The highly figured Exhibition quality walnut has a checkered butt, straight grip and diamond shaped hand with very fine 32 LPI checkering. The slim, filed forend is fitted with Fabbri’s characteristic forend latch.

This very gun is featured in a full two-page spread in the the book Mario Terzi - Master Engraver by Stephen Lamboy & Elena Michelli-Lamboy, this is one of the most famous Fabbri guns made in recent years and is available for immediate delivery.

As new in the maker’s lightweight leather case.
