The Beretta S09 is the Pinnacle of Italian craftsmanship and engineering. Building off of the equally impressive S06 guns, the S09 uses a side lock action that is scaled to the caliber, to act as the perfect canvas for engraving. Pared with this engraving is an elegant choice of highly figured walnut to make a truly spectacular package. This example has seen some years of genuine use and it tells those stories through the mild abrasions seen on the stocks and receiver. The only wear to be seen is very faint corrosion seen in the engravings, where it looks as if someone may have touched the receiver and not oiled afterwards.
