When I decided I wanted to move up from a Remington 3200 to something else for my skeet and trap shooting I had an inkling to get a Perazzi . At the time the big ticket trap gun was the DB-81 and I thought one of those with Kolar AAA tubes would be good for both as I always liked a gun that shot high .

Well long story short John Allem offered me a brand new K-32 with Kolar AAA tubes and a pair of used K-80 trap barrels so that was the route I took .

Still may have to acquire a Perazzi of some type just so I can say I owned one for awhile !!!!

Is that factory engraving and gold work or did you have someone else do the work ? Either way it looks great !!!

Craig,
Not to speak for Brian but the engraving is signed in multiple places by Angelo Bee. If you look close you will see his mark of ABEE which sometimes is followed with a drawing of a bee. I once had a CSMG XE Fox 20 gage that he engraved and was marked as such.

Brian,
The engraving scenes on your gun are spectacular. The MX-8's are very plain and make for nice upgrades. I bought this one several years ago that was engraved by Barry Lee Hands. It's a great gun but the truth is I don't shoot any better scores than I do with my Parkers so the it gets very little use.

The Mirage and the MX8 are great canvasses for the engraver. I owned a Mirage 30" pigeon gun engraved and gold inlaid by Heidimarie Hiptmeyer and stocked by her husband Klaus. It is a masterpiece. I would like to know where it is today. It is pictured in an early Gun Digest. Does anyone know where it is? I sold it to a fellow on Long Island who wrote me a bum check. A bit of ingenious detective work solved that problem. I'm sure you understand what Long Island detective work is all about.

It isn't a matter of breaking more birds !

It's as one older gentleman told me years ago " You look so much better with a K-32 Super Crown in your hands then a Standard Grade ESPECIALLY when you MISS "
