A FINE 12-BORE GALEAZZI-ENGRAVED SINGLE TRIGGER SELF-OPENING SIDELOCK EJECTOR GUN, NO. 512
26-inch chopper-lump barrels with 2 3/4-inch chambers about 1/2 and 3/4 choke borings, the maker's name signed in gold, the frame and top lever with fine scroll engraving, the trigger plate signed Goldani, the action base and lock plates engraved with fine realistic game scenes, the left lock with grouse in flight against a Highland background, the right lock with a gun dog retrieving pheasant amid a woodland scene, the action base with a dog retrieving woodcock, signed by the engraver, A. Galeazzi, retaining all of its bright cyanide-hardened finish, the maker's name and serial number signed in gold on the action flat, 14 1/2-inch well figured stock, 6lb. 7oz., nitro proof, in its maker's case with wallet containing the maker's guarantees, etc
The gun was completed in 1983 and appears relatively little used. It was one of the last guns built before the death of Mario Abbiatico in 1984.
Angelo Galeazzi, the Italian master gun engraver, was born in Brescia in 1931. He was a pupil of Gino Medici in Brescia, master engraver and sculptor. Galeazzi's work is known for its attention to detail and the softness of his touch. His scenes have a lifelike quality that is only captured by the very finest of artists and sculptors. His work continues to be in demand the world over and only selected private commissions are undertaken.
