12-gauge break-action shotgun was manufactured by M.A.V.I. of Italy and imported by Dakin Gun Co. It features a 2 3/4" (70mm) chamber and classic single-shot design. Please note: the action is currently very hard to open and requires significant force - ideal for a collector, gunsmith, or restoration project. Wood furniture shows typical wear for its age, and the metal finish is worn but intact. A solid vintage platform with old-world construction, ready for repair or display.
