I met Giacomo when he was with Perazzi [V.P.?]. This was when they had their U.S. headquarters in Rome N.Y.. P. moved to California but Giacomo stayed near Rome and opened/bought a sporting goods store north of the city.This was sometime in the late seventies. He later bought LeFever Arms [Lee Center N.Y.]from Bob LeFever [Uncle Dans nephew] and Bill Schartz. I shot trap with Bob and pigeons with Bill in the eighties.
If you want to meet Giacomo, go to the Grand American, as I did in 2004. He has gray hair now but one glance at his forearms and you would know that you are looking at a gunsmith.
I know Giacomo to be competent and honest and unlike the old LeFever Arms you can expect to get your gun back in less than a decade.
