I picked up a Vincenzo Bernardelli O/U and the only thing I can see that resembles a model number is under the receiver it has a "110" but from my online reading (which is very sparse, especially in English) the 110 was listed as a SxS not an O/U... this was apparently a hand made piece for a gentleman who sold it to a guy I know, who had it for years who then sold it to me... Just looking for info on it

The case in the background was a spare he had, when he got it, it was only a gun, no case or accessories, so he included that case for me.






 
Contact them with your serial number, barrel length, gauge, action bernardelli.com/en/contatti.html

They should be able to tell you the year/s of production, variants, production numbers.

Looks like a Model 115 Target discontinued in 1991.

on that site it says

"NOTE: We will not answer any enquiry regarding value, date of manufacturing or technical specifications of used guns."

from what I've found the original Italian company went bankrupt and then the name and assets were sold to a Turkish company a while ago and thats the page you have so they won't have info on the older, better made Italian stuff.

Barrels look to be 28" (haven't measured yet) and it's 12ga and no stamps for the chambering so I assume it's 2 3/4" only but had a question on if it's only 2 3/4" and what the chokes would be in it and when it was made, model number, diagram and parts list if possible for longevity ownership...

Italian guns are marked for chamber length in mm - 65 being 2 1/2 inch, 70 being 2 3/4 inch and 76 being 3 inch. There should also be bore diameter and choke diameter in mm on the barrels.
There will also be a date code on the gun. If you put Italian Shotgun Date code into Google the table will come up right away.
 
Take some pics of the action and bottom of barrels. As mentioned, there should be letters or Roman Numerals designating a date code as well as chamber length in millimeters. There should aso be little "stars" on each barrel designating choke.

I found a 185 on one barrel and 187 on the other, I saw the choke marks, one is full, other is modified, there are some very small hard to make out markings that don't turn out on my cell phone pics
Here is the bottom of the receiver with the number 110 which I assume is model




On the barrels above the stocks are just the company name and made in Italy.
