Trying to identity a Davide Pedersoli

[99airforce]

I have a Davide pedersoli double barrel 12 ga, but I don't know the model number. When you separate the barrel, KG1 970 is stamped on the barrel.
I would just like to know the model

I never knew that there are different "model numbers" of the pedresoli double barrel 12 ga.
There are common links available for Pedersoli arms, I own some.
I have known and understand that if "double barrel" gun barrels are separated, that it is done with intention of full and licensed restoration.
Are you sharing with us that aspect?
Or bubba searching for glue?
Honest. I apologize,, but have you read the forum archives new guy?

Welcome to the forum, @99airforce !

I don’t know much about different models of Pedersoli shotguns, but I’m pretty sure our friend is separating the barrels from the stock, not from each other.

Sir, if you can provide some dimensions, e.g. barrel length, and better yet some photos, including good images of the barrel stampings, we’ll be better able to help with identification.

Best regards,

I don't believe that Pedersoli used model numbers, just names. There certainly are differences however, and the earlier production Doppietta were over a pound lighter than the current production (just under 6 pounds as opposed to about 7.25 lbs in 12 gauge). They were also shipped with various chokes, and sometimes stock dimensions, depending on the requirements of the importer. If you are interested in when your gun was actually manufactured, you can use the table below to figure that out.
