Previously famous for its elegant and efficient hunting shotguns, Cosmi now enters the world of self-loading rifles. The perfect balance provided by the famous stock magazine is also inherent to this slim rifle, and this balance hardly changes when the magazine is discarded. This means that the balance is always maintained for a fair shot, and at the same time a rapid sequence of shots is possible in busy driven hunt situations. This rifle was specially made for this auction, and represents in this performance an absolute specialty.
Cosmi was founded in 1890 by Rodolfo Cosmi. In the small community of Macerata Feltria (south of San Marino), the innovative craftsman produced his first own shotgun. The special feature here - it was to be a semi-automatic hunting shotgun, which could be broken by lever in the style of the usual shotguns. The Cosmi shotgun was born. A technical masterpiece that is still produced by hand today. The recoil loader is composed of over 100 parts, and in addition to the iconic feature of bending the barrel from the base, the magazine was unusually anchored in the stock and not in the forearm. This not only had a positive effect on weight distribution, but allowed for a much slimmer fore-end. In 1936, the sons Americo and Marcello moved the factory to the Adriatic port city of Ancona, where it remains today. In the meantime, the world-famous Cosmi shotgun is offered in five calibers - in addition to the high-quality engravings and finishes, the company has focused in recent years on modern material processing (titanium), lightweight construction and versatility. To this day, Cosmi weapons are handcrafted. The successor generations of Rodolfo Cosmi also participate in the production. Since 2018, the company has been led by Luca Gaeti, who adds an even more international focus in addition to creative input.
