From a posting on Guns International:
The engraver, Claudio Cremini, is featured in several areas of Marco Nobili's book "The Best Guns".
Google his name - lots of references

not sure about gamba, but 8k-12k can buy very high quality 2nd hand italian sxs. i looked at one made by small shop that makes < dwo dozen per year and the price was 9.5k. italian craftsmanship is second to none.
