Bernadelli built a lot of custom SxS’s in the 60’s and early 70’s. Yours is a beauty. I remember getting the literature from a gentleman in Miami (Knight)in the mid 60’s. You could order your hearts desire for not a lot of money. Being a college student at the time all I could do was dream. Back then it was not required to stamp the guns with importation information. Another maker back then was Spanish. Eusebio Arizaga! They offered the same custom gun building and Jack O’Connor had a beautiful 28 bore made up that he wrote about frequently in Oitdoor Life. For $400 you could build a spectacular gun. Ok. I’m rambling. Congrats on your fine purchase. Shoot it was n good health. Merry Xmas.
