Don't know but as soon as I saw it I thought Franci or one of the Rizzini's.

 

There would normally be some sort of ID on the barrel inside the fore-end...as you are asking though I suspect there isn't.

 

Manufacturers do usually manage to get their name on the gun somewhere

 

Perhaps it has had some work done..new barrels just guessing!!!

HI I worked for the UK importers of Lugi Franchi way back in 1968 through to 72. your gun is 100% Franchi. in the early 70's Franchi launched a number of new models on their standard and alloy actioned guns I think I recall the CNC style of engraving. The Importers then were Millard Bros at Mitcham Surrey but sadly not with us now. Most parts are still available and I belive there is still a uk importer WEB SEARCH WILL GIVE YOU A NAME. I have aquired parts for some old Franchi models straight from there factory in Brescia Italy. They were very helpfull. Hope this helps Regards Sage.
