Franchi Fenice, 28 ga. auto-loading shotgun.  Serial #E02569-08, mfg. Italy.  Excellent condition.  26” vent rib barrel has excellent bore and blue. 2 ¾” chamber with one IMP CYL choke tube.  Nickel-plated, lightweight alloy receiver with fine scroll engraving and generous gold game scene inlays. Some light rub marks on left side.  Highly-polished, chrome-plated bolt.  Oil-finished, AA-grade highly-figured European walnut stock and forearm.  Forearm has a fine hairline crack running almost completely through the forearm crosswise – will need repair.  Otherwise, gun is near perfect.  Light and dainty at 5.4lbs – reliable Browning long recoil system.  A grouse and wood cock hunter’s delight!
