Name that shotgun
So I was at a gun show and found this shotgun advertised as a Beretta. Knowing it wasn't a beretta I offered a low(almost insulting) and he took it. So I'm trying to figure out what I have now. It looks like some pics I've seen of marocchi guns but nothing looks just right. Mostly the engraving never matches. In the pics on says made in Italy (clear enough). The other says forest ( something online said the town it was made in?). One barrel says cam.70 the other says kci.350. And both say 18.4 closer to the breach. Don't know a ton about over under so anything you guys know would be great. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...7891743e8c.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...d16d57b237.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...4f105d0f26.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...65ddf890b9.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...cda69ffc07.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...901994169b.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...a901ec0d9f.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...fc5778f4c1.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...14cdc0b9fb.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...7ccf3e2968.jpg

Looks like a well used Franchi Aristocrat Silver King-Field aka Forest-
Similar to a Perazzi but without the finish level

Thanks I knew someone would get it. I'll get in touch with them. I know it's definitely not a marocchi due to them not having record of it's serial number

sorry to bring back an old thread. after the research colorado osprey( not that I was doubting) it is a Franchi Aristocrat Silver King-Field aka Forest. does anyone have an idea what this thing is worth. any help is appreciated

I like learning new things so I started poking around. I think your gun may actually be a Sabatti Forest.
Have you ever shot it? Do you have pictures of the breach for both barrels?

Do you have a sharper focused close-up of the proof marks under the chambers?
---->Attachment 78776
70 is the chamber depth - 2 3/4"
18.4 is likely the bore in millimeters. I think this equates to a 'Skeet' choke.

ill look for my macro lens and see what i can do with some natural light so it doesnt blur
