*SOLD* 1970 Beretta S56E 12GA Blue 30" *BEAUTIFUL ENGRAVED SATIN CHROME RECEIVER*

Bryant Ridge's Analysis:

The Beretta S50 series is available only in 12- and 20-bore. The basic model was the S55B, a boxlock which featured a single selective trigger (some examples appear to have been made with double triggers), plain extractors and a checkered pistol-grip stock and fore-end. They were offered with barrels of varying lengths topped with a ventilated 6mm rib. The chokes are fixed, most commonly at quarter and half but with some variations, especially in those chambered for 3in cartridges which are presumably intended to appeal to the wildfowler. The S56E was the deluxe version of the S55B that has a scroll-engraved receiver and selective automatic ejectors.
