12gauge over&under Navy Arms Co Ridgefield NJ Made in It

docdestructo62 · Mar 1, 2009

I just purchased a 12 gauge over and under, double trigger. It says Navy Arms Co Ridgefield, NJ Made in Italy

It has a pheasant carved on the left side, a labrador retriever carved on the bottom, and a duck carved on the right side.

On the right side of the upper barrel is printed CAM 76 (followed by one star) 18.5 (millimeters signifying 12 gauge)
On the right side of the lower barrel is printed KGL 500 (followed by three stars) 18.5

The serial number is 105607

It also says acciaio - Vicker's
canne cromate

Does anybody know anything about this gun? How old is it? How much is it worth? What type of game is it best suited for?
Any help appreciated!

It might be a model 83.

If it is it was made by R. Luciano.

Navy arms imported the model 83 starting in 1985.

In 2001 it had an MSR of $320.00

It's a 12 gauge over/under.....

As far as what game is it suitable for?? A 12 gauge can be used for all manner of game. From squirrels & rabbits to dove, quail, grouse, pheasant, woodcock, duck & goose.

Thanks very much. I paid too much for it, apparently. Is there any way to tell by the serial number if it is a model 83 or a 93?

One star signifies full choke
Three stars = improved

acciaio - Vicker's = Vickers steel
canne cromate Chrome bore

My shotgun is a Rota model 83
Made by Luciano Rota of Italy and imported by Navy Arms,
In mint condition apparently worth about $400

The 76 indicates that it has a 76mm (3 inch) chamber.

Where might I find a stock and forend for that model of over-under?

Navy Arms (www.navyarms.com) relocated from New Jersey to Martinsburg, WV a number of years ago. They no longer import shotguns. Its doubtful that they would have replacement stocks gathering dust for so many years but, it wouldn't hurt to ask. Also, contact Numrich (www.gunpartscorp.com) and provide make and model info.
