She's a beauty! Based on the date stamp XXI, it was made in 1965. I cant say I know much about it, but it looks to be a common italian guild gun built off a common Gardone receiver. Many of these guild guns are excellent quality firearms, but rarely command high values. Very nice gun nonetheless
Forgot to mention....the lion stamp on the water table tells me that the maker is Armi San Marco.

suggestions following up on identifying your other shotguns -
1. Try clipping the image of the makers mark and put it into Google Images to see if there are helpful posts on the internet.
2. Post your inquiries on Shotgunworld.com and DoublegunBBS ( doublegunshop.com/forums ). There are a lot of helpful resource people on these sites.
You always need to apply a filter of judgement to the information that you receive from random input on the internet, with respect to firearm value, but also about technical detail.
This Swedish site is quite good for Spanish trademarks, but does not have much in the Italian trademarks link. It is a reference worth saving.

If you want to ensure proper info, you can email the Italian Proof house and send them pictures of the makers marks. You can contact the director, Antonio Girlando using this email viviana.facchini@bancoprova.it. I've done it in the past and attached pictures of the stampings and they will be able to give you more info. But the lion stamping with a foot on a BG shaped like an open book is certainly an Armi San Marco mark. I was able to send an email written in Italian, but im sure they will respond in english as well
