They make very few guns spiffier than an SC 3. Mostly , you make a deal w/ them to make you what you want, and they do it.

I have seen an SCO-sideplates w/ the gold lion . And it was a stunner. (Pigeon gun)

I have an SC 3 # 100 engraving pattern. It is deeply engraved and quite the looker. My wife has an SC 3 w/ game scene engraving w/ the dog facing the wrong way (an error) which according to Perazzi is now a one of a kind.

On the pigeon circuit , I have seen some beauties. SCO sideplates , etc.

Also some Fabbris that are out of the ordinary , incl (supposedly) the only funeral model.

Deep blue (or black) w/ a gold wire outline.

The one Justice posted looks like the one I saw at a pigeon shoot 10 yrs ago or so. I have seen about 20 Fabbri's in person and only one funeral model and one bulino ("bank-note"). Most spectacular engraving I have ever seen was on an F Rizzini SxS. They wouldn't let me near it as I was drooling so much.
