Who Made These Shotguns?

[kinetic711]

I watched "The Godfather" last night, maybe the greatest movie of all time, but that is another thread. I am always interested in the guns in this movie especially the shotguns in the scenes when Michael is in Sicily. His bodyguards carry beautiful "Luparas" or wolf killers, short, SxS, 12g shotguns. I have always loved these guns and now want to get one. Does anyone know for sure the make of these guns or do you have a good guess? All ideas are welcome. Thanks.

Let's see, they're in Italy and Italy has had a lot of shotgun makers over the years. I'm going out on a limb and guessing....Baikal? kidding!!!

Seriously though if you spend some time searching here you might get lucky. If not you will have seen some of the most beautiful shotguns in the world and skills second to none.

The Godfather was released in 1972 so it could have been one of several markers. But if I had to place a bet I'd say it was a Bernadelli.

By the looks of this pic the guns are probably just props. The hammers look to small in relationship to the rest of the gun.

Exposed hammer sidelock, short barrels. Take your pick.

Is it a real side lock or just a plate over a box?

Look up Trade Ex Canada. They have lots of older European shotguns for sale and they might even know what the shotguns are that you are looking at.

Not too many hammer guns there tho.
