No, you misunderstood my statement. A new best quality Poli does not cost anywhere near what a new Fabbri costs. A new, best quality sidelock Poli starts about $40k and compares to other guns that cost the same. A new Fabbri starts at about $175k so they are not comparable. We are talking about comparing guns with similar new retail prices, not what you may find a used gun for.
As I said earlier, Poli has made guns with a very wide range of quality with prices that reflect that. You can’t make a judgment of the company’s quality by looking at one gun. The Poli guns compare favorably with other guns that have a similar new price. ( or had similar prices when new).
Here is an example; a new CSMC RBL, a new Rizzini B BR550 and a new Fausti DEA are are very close in price new and are all of similar quality with similar build methods and similar shortcomings.
