Beretta Silver Snipe 12-Gauge Over/Under Shotgun This Beretta Silver Snipe over/under shotgun, serial number A28599, is chambered in 12 gauge and showcases the fine craftsmanship that has long made Beretta a leader in sporting arms. Produced during the mid-20th century, the Silver Snipe was one of Beretta’s most successful over/under shotguns of its era, admired for its reliability, balance, and sleek Italian styling. The shotgun features 26 inch monobloc barrels clearly marked “P. Beretta – Gardone V.T.” with Pietro Beretta markings. The 12-gauge barrels retain their original bluing and are fitted with a ventilated rib and single bead front sight, providing a clean sighting plane. The bores remain bright and clean, the action locks up solidly, and the barrels are choked with the top barrel marked Modified (★★) and the bottom barrel marked Improved Modified (★★★), offering versatile performance for field or sporting use. The receiver carries the “Silver Snipe” designation and is decorated with tasteful factory engraving, paired with a tang-mounted safety and barrel selector. The walnut stock and forearm are checkered for grip and show only light handling wear consistent with age and use, giving the gun an attractive, classic sporting look. Overall, this Beretta Silver Snipe is a fine example of an early Beretta over/under, combining dependable mechanics with stylish presentation. With its classic choke configuration, quality wood, and tasteful engraving, it remains equally well-suited for the field or as a collectible piece of Beretta’s sporting legacy. FFL Status: Modern
