The Roma series was available with English or pistol grip stock. In 12, 16 or 20 gauge and extractor or for extra cost ejector. In 1972 a Roma 6E was selling for 198,000 Lira in Italy from Bolaffi, a large dealer in Turin. If you take the barrels off you will see a proof mark that indicates the date. It is sometimes simply stamped with the year. Other times, they used a date code.  Pete

This gun was probably made before I was born and it cost approx. $177 in Europe. For comparison soon to be mine Brownie 3" Mag. aka "Kaaabooom----Baaang" cost $340.

If you're interested in this brand check out L. Brown's article entitled The Guns of Vincenzo Bernardelli-Profiling one of Italy's Oldest Makers in Sept/October 2003 issue of Shooting Sportsman Magazine.

Side-plated boxlock - forend iron pin looks like Southgate ejectors. Hope your VB Roma 12 gives you as much joy over many years as my VB Hemingway 20.

I'm having a bit of a problem with this also. I know the Italians made a lot of boxlock guns with false sideplates but this does not appear to be one of them.

It's not stocked to fences. Alas, when Madam or Mademoiselle breaks it open after firing that big pin under "elli" will not turn ie the cocking indicator is a fake one.
