Galef and Son N.Y. N. Y. MAVI-GARDONE VT Italy with a serial number 131833. I wanted to find the value of this shotgun but have had no luck. If anyone can help to determine the value please email me at colinestable@aol.com its in excellent condition.

Definitely the Beretta was a treat, it was my first gun, and I highly recommend it.

It was a pretty nifty folding 12 Gauge, but I never saw one in person, and I was looking! I wasn't aware that anyone had done this before. I love single barrel shotguns because they're cheap, plentiful, and often work as take-down models, but folding models sound even better!

Having more than one barrel just seems really inefficient to me (unless you need it for cooling, like on a gatling gun...). If you need to shoot more than once rapidly, use an autoloader.

That's roughly the time required for one of us to forget how painful it is to shoot and to take it out again. The stock has been drilled and filled with shot, after which the gun promptly cracked its stock almost in two just behind the grip. It is a magical weapon, to be sure.
