I have owned a number of Holland and Holland, Rigby, Purdy, JP Sauer, Beretta (custom shop), shotguns and double rifles over the years so I know a little about high dollar guns. One thing is certain, most people look at the engraving without understanding that no amount of engraving will make a gun a better gun. Perrazi boxlocks can endure perhaps 100k to 200k rounds thru them without shooting loose. In the photos above, the gun is made to look like a back-action side-lock, but the finely engraved plates are false side plates for decoration only. Both of these guns are built on a mono-block, i.e. the action, which is both cnc machined and finished using spark erosion. The engraving may have been touched up by an engraving school.

Do not take me wrong, these Perrazi guns represent are a fabulous piece of workmanship and great photos too

Below is a photo of a Beretta custom shop gun that I once owned: Ignore the engraving for a moment and note the metal to metal fit

The only thing I have heard that was negative about a Perazzi was about a cowboy, one who closes a gun by slamming it shut.....not the fault of the gun at all.
