I would never in a million years have paid to have it done, but I will say this, Hw -- it is nice to be able to easily find my gun in a rack of dozens.

Due to the similarities to this known Angelo Bee work, I'm guessing your first guess was right, Sera:

Definitely not Creative Art!!!! Probably Bill Mains.
Also that Perazzi was engraved after the fact. Angelo Bee signed most of his work, sometimes with just a little bumble bee…

Well, he sent it to Jack West to have the comb done, so it makes sense he would have sent it to a state-side engraver. Thanks much!

“I shot with a gentleman with a Fabbri funeral grade just a couple weeks ago”

Hate to be “that guy” but I’m curious what “Funeral Grade” means in the comment above

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.

Just got a 12 gauge sc3 with scroll engrave signed by Gerri does anyone know who the engraver is?

 

[JT65]

Engraving is Number 1

Are you sure it says Gerri and not Terri? Morena Terri is a master engraver who works at the Perazzi factory.

 

[JT65]

Yes it is Terri M signed thank you very much

 

[Rckdr]

Here is a video of her at work

That’s great I really appreciated

I have a Terri gun. #100 pattern.

My 28 gauge Lusso grade was engraved by her. Lusso engraving tends not to attract much attention but if you really look at it it is quite beautiful and her work is incredible.

My mx2000 was done by her as well. While I prefer the simplicity of the Lusso the price and wood upgrade made it a no brainer. Delicate simplicity

Not sure what it going on here but I talked to PSA a couple weeks ago about the Wyvern and it is $54,000 retail.

To me the Lusso and MX2000 patterns are close enough but I much prefer the Lusso for the lack of gold lettering.

Are you kidding me? I was guessing it was up to 40k. 54k is through the roof.

 

[Rocky White]

I believe that 5 years ago it was about $43,000, up 20% since then. I think the base HT is up more then 20% over the last 5 years. It seems like the base HT was about $14,000 and now they are $17,500 to $19,500 depending on how it was made, wood, choke tubes, nickel, etc.

There has been inflation affecting everything, of course, but since every single Perazzi that is built gets sold there is a huge demand for these guns. Demand goes up, price follows. The planet’s consumption of luxury goods of all sorts is astounding. Perazzi’s new owners may also be looking for a return on investment.

I bought my SCO from PSA 6 years ago. It was $32,000.
