Breda Shotgun

[Mollie]

Acciaio Breda B4 3 inch Magnum 12 gauge over under.

I was told Beretta made these ?

Any info would be appreciated. One may come up for sale and I'd like to research it.

I'd like to find a pdf.

What are the chances you bought it used at Ellwood Epps ? Lol

Beretta did not make Breda shotguns, although it was common for firearm manufacturers back in the 50's and 60's to use barrels made by Breda

What do you mean by this? Brescia is the name of a city. Did you mean that they were all manufactured in the city of Brescia?

I believe at on time, the small town of Bresica had over 300 firearm manufactures making a living in that town.

Like most gun making centres in Europe. Small, relatively isolated. Easily defended. Good access to raw materials. Brecia in Italy, St Etiennes in France, Ferlach in Austria, Eibar in Spain, Liege in Belgium, Suhl in Germany and Birmingham in England. If you controlled the gun making, you controlled the country.

Yes, the province of Brescia is the firearm capital of Italy and likely still has hundreds of firearms makers in some capacity

Has anyone looked closely at the new Breda lineup? Incredible looking shotguns! They made some beauties back in the 50's and 60's that were well beyond their time.
