The European shotgun on the other hand was built for a one specified type of hunting, driven birds and because of that could be refined to a light and lively handling firearm.
The "driven bird gun" was most definitely English. This type of hunting was not done for the most part in other countries, but again, it would vary upon social class. Certainly in Germany a drilling would have been more appropriate, while in Sweden or Italy a gun that could handle a slug or buckshot for Moose or Boar respectively would have been favored.
By the mid-1930's Beretta was moving more toward pigeon, trap and skeet than field guns. Finding an older Italian gun that we would consider a goose gun is nearly impossible.
I believe that most American makers produced a trap gun or two. Also, American makers gave the customer a wide choice of weights and lengths even in a field gun. For no extra charge you could get 32" to 26" barrels, thus tailor the gun to the game.
