In my very humble opinion, A&S [FAMARS] make some of the finest guns in the world today. Some of their creations made during the late 1980's and 90's are beyond compare; with exquisite metal work combined with engraving of the highest order by artists only recently acknowledged. My Ca. 1988 "unique, one of a kind" custom hammergun, made specially for a well known live pigeon shooter and early Italian gun writer, is an incredible work of precision with beautifully struck chopper lump barrels and sculptural traditional action filing. The action is left "in the white" with little engraving except for some outlining and a few flourishes of fine relief scroll surrounding a small "A&S" on the bottom of the action; all done with taste and restraint. The trigger plate is proudly engraved "Pedretti Inc."
Best, Mal
