I have a VB hammer 16 made in the mid-30s that still shoots and looks great. It is identical to the plain "Italia" sold by Stoegers and others later. Open chokes (C/IC) and 25" (more or less) barrels--snipe? Woodcock? Came out of 'way Northwestern Italy. If I could find one for $600, I'd buy it in a nano.
