Beretta did a Dante shotgun, on the 700 th year anniversary of his death, folks should avoid going to their insta page… so offensiveOMG. Looked at some of his other guns. Sorry Europe, these are too beautiful not to share.
Moderators, if posting this link is a violation of the forum rules, my apologies as it is not my intent and please remove at your discretion. But dang. These are pretty.
TRIGGER WARNING: there may or may not be guns with engravings of the nude female form somewhere in the following website. I am posting this strictly for the bird one. Click at your own risk!!!!!

I'm also confused. Usually when Europe post something it's very interesting. Something must have been deleted?

Come now. @Europe is clearly the most offensive member amongst our ranks. I mean nudes, exotic calibers, Africa….I’m surprised her password still works.
Those are truly amazing works of art. Thanks for sharing

Guilty as charged I guess. Full aggressive is why we can’t have nice things tho. Its still snowing, I’m drifted in again and can’t go anywhere so here I am. Idle handsI’m on hold with Big Fin as we speak!!
I’m just repeatedly amused, with everything that goes on on this forum, how badly an old woman can get some grown men so wrapped around the axle. She’s my hero.
Plus I admire what some people can make out of steel and wood. @wllm1313 the Dante shotgun was impressive as well. Nice share

She should be everybody’s hero on here! April is a class act, brightens my often routine day.

I’ve feel like I’ve done something right when Europe likes one of my post for crying out loud.
Agreed. There should be a standard three letter acronym response for anyone who complains about one of Europe’s posts.

I thought BF just sent folks the Mr. Rogers .gif… apparently… I was wrong.
I thought it meant Go Fish Yellowstone. What do I know?

Passive aggressive, in poor taste, are not things i'd associate with the @Europe we've come to know and love!
For some heathen to cause such ill feelings should be spoken to in the harshest of terms.

HUNTING WIFE AND GENTLEMEN, ----THANK YOU !!!
To those who included a bit of humor in their post, thank you. You have no idea how much I needed that right now.
Randi. Florence is a beautiful city, but if David is the only reason your going, you can save time by just going to Ceasers Palace in Las Vegas. They say he is exactly like the the one in Florence. And to the "naked" eye, it looks like that is true, but I have not personally taken any measurements.
My husband and I found this company many years ago when traveling thru Austria. Beautiful guns and very nice people. They make these guns with side locks, as side locks will give the engraver more room for engraving. However guns with side locks will be more expensive. I made an exception with the Secret of Artemis, as I liked it, but I usually prefer either box locks or drop locks, as you can carry a spare one with you into the field. I also liked the 9.3 x 74R, which allows one to hunt every thing in Namibia except the Big 5. It does not produce the necessary Joules to be legal to hunt the big 5 in Namibia, but in actually is more than enough gun to do so. IMHO
We also liked their 3 barrel horizontal rifles and shotguns. Technically, they would be "drillings" but "drillings" historically have two shotgun barrels on top and a rifle barrel underneath them or vice versa. but I thought if you looked at their web page, the three barrel horizontal would be interesting to some. As well as their 4 speciality ones. The Africa one is made in the 500 N.E. caliber--which would be way to much gun for me, but thought some here might like it.
Also, Happy Myles and Buffybr ( and 50 others here ) are far more knowledgable than I am about all this, but thought their firearms would be something many of you would enjoy.
Brent and Wiim1313, thank you for sharing. Beautiful, very nice. Thank you

Some people think that art is a Terry Redlin print you get from the silent auction at a DU banquet. Other people have class & taste. @Europe is the latter.
Mortimer back action w/ a jones underlever in 450 3 1/4 BPE, circa 1880.
Alex Martin sidelock hammer gun with a thumb snap action release, circa 1870.

Art? When Ben said. My god, I love that Mortimer.
Next group bird hunt, we should have a gun show. You will need to haul a trailer...
