Exceptional designed shotgun that takes up the design principle of the round body. On the one hand, the impressive overall design with a stock run up to the fences is created by the change of the base. On the other hand, the safety in the stock is not only recessed, but separated from the buttstock by a wooden bridge. An outstanding aesthetic with which Marc Newson realized an interpretation of modern round-body together with Beretta. A form class which so far only a few producers such as John Dickson (James MacNaughton) or Watson Bros shaped in the long term. Born in Sydney in 1963, Marc Newson is one of Australia's most influential designers. His career path took him via Tokyo to London, both of which are clearly recognisable in the engraving and design of this shotgun.
