Thats it, you guys have convinced me that he bought the barrels from Germany but I am sticking to my guns and say that he lived in and crafted the gun in Gardone Italy. There were a lot of small shops like this scattered throughout Italy especially around the Beretta factory.I wish I had a web page so I could show some of these pictures. The gunsmithing does seem to be top notch. I like his designs. Ah well, I will keep plugging along. Thanks everyone for the help. You guys are making a lot of sense.
