Signed Engraved A & S Famars Zeus Grade 410 Gauge Box Lock Double Barrel Shotgun with Case

Famars shotguns rank among the finest ever produced, built exclusively to custom order until the company’s closure in 2012. This example features a round body triggerplate action with the action, trigger guard, toplever, and forend iron finely engraved in classic English scroll. Banners on each side of the action read “ABBIATICO & SALVINELLI,” with “ZEUS” engraved underneath, and “G. SABATTI INC.” signed just ahead of the trigger guard. The serial number is engraved in a banner on the lower tang, with matching numbers on the water table, barrel flat, and forend iron. The left barrel is additionally marked “ABBIATICO & SALVINELLI” near the breech.

The shotgun is fitted with a single bead sight on the smooth concave game rib, 3-inch chambers with automatic ejectors, and chokes gauged modified/modified. It has blue barrels, satin grey furniture, double triggers, and a tang-mounted manual safety. The finely figured walnut stock features multi-point checkering, a straight grip with diamond hand stock, and a checkered bare butt. Dimensions include a 14 1/2-inch length of pull, 1 3/8-inch drop at heel, 1 1/8-inch drop at comb, and an overall weight of 5 lbs. 3 oz.

Accompanying the shotgun is a lightweight leather takedown case with leather corner protectors, straps, and handle, lined in wine-colored velvet with a leather A&S label in the lid. Accessories include a three-piece cleaning rod, a round nickel container with screw-on lid, and three cleaning attachments.
