*SOLD* 1989 Luigi Franchi SPAS-12 12 Ga Blk 21.5" *ICONIC JURASSIC PARK SHOTGUN*

Bryant Ridge's Analysis:

The Franchi SPAS-12 is a combat shotgun manufactured by the Italian firearms company Franchi from 1979 to 2000. The SPAS-12 is a dual-mode shotgun, adjustable for semi-automatic or pump-action operation. The SPAS-12 was sold to military and police users worldwide, as well as on the civilian market. The appearance and intended purpose of the SPAS-12 initially led to its "military" designation as a combat shotgun. The SPAS-12 was designed from the ground up as a rugged military shotgun, and it was named the Special Purpose Automatic Shotgun. In 1990, Franchi renamed the shotgun the Sporting Purpose Automatic Shotgun, which allowed continued sales to the United States as a limited-magazine-capacity, fixed-stock model until 1994. Following the United States Federal Assault Weapons Ban, imports of SPAS-12 shotguns to the United States were stopped. In September of 2004, the ban expired, but Franchi ended production of the SPAS-12 in 2000 to focus on the manufacturing of the SPAS-15 model, which was based on the SPAS-12. 
 
The SPAS-12 was one of the guns that went out of production due to high production costs, but it still appeared in various forms of media, such as movies, TV, video games, and more. One of the most famous movies that the SPAS-12 was in was Jurassic Park, making it a very iconic firearm that collectors came to love.
