Offered here is a classic Beretta S55 Patent over/under shotgun chambered in 12 Gauge, manufactured in Italy by Pietro Beretta of Gardone V.T., Brescia. The S55 series is one of Beretta's most recognizable post-war sporting shotguns, known for its robust action design, excellent barrel regulation, and elegant Italian styling.
This example features a blued barrel assembly paired with a silver-finished receiver bearing the classic Beretta markings and decorative engraving. The shotgun is fitted with a checkered walnut stock and forend and retains its original fixed-choke barrel configuration.
