Belleri Hammer

[Joe Graziano]

I’m looking at a Luigi Belleri hammer gun. It’s a neat little gun I’d use for hunting but can find almost no info on Belleri other than they were brothers who worked for Beretta. This is a very late model hammer gun, 1948. Any info is appreciated.

it may be a gun that has to be evaluated on its own quality

here is what i could find

Thanks for the info. That’s the only article I could find as well. It’s a neat little gun but badly worn after years as the seller’s grandad’s hunting gun. From what I can tell, it would bring maybe $200 at auction. Unfortunately, an “expert” convinced the seller that a Belleri is a Beretta because the builder worked at Beretta, and gave him a value of $950. If anyone is interested, it’s listed on GI.
