Can someone possibly provide some information about a Perazzi MX 8 for me, or point me towards a source of same? The gun is serialed 480XX, has 31 7/8" barrels and a stepped vent rib. Originally choked full and full it was most probably a trap gun. Inscriptions are as follows: Left barrel chamber area - ITHACA GUN COMPANY-ITHACA-NEW YORK, 12 GA. 2 3/4 CHAMBER, MADE IN ITALY, MX 8 (in gold). Right barrel chamber area - CUSTOM CRAFTED BY MANIFATTURA ARMI PERAZZI. Underneath bottom barrel - ACCIAIC SPECIAL.
It has simple border engraving around the chamber area, engraving on and around the hinge pin and engraving on the top lever and a small area behind the rib.
It is obviously pretty old, not much bluing left, but locks up perfectly with top lever still slightly right of center. And, oh yeah, she moves and shoots like a dream and has a wonderful (non selective) trigger.
Any help on this one is greatly appreciated. Stan
