Just found (and bought) a WW-II era Breda model 710 12-ga auto, and I'm looking for some background info.
The manufacturer's stamp reads "Breda-Breschia." It has a 24" vent rib barrel with a threaded end, and a 4" extension of some sort. SN 31396.
The dealer could only tell me that it was built in 1941; I don't know where he got his info.
The bore has a few small grooves, as if someone fired superhot steel through it, but otherwise, it's a beauty.
Any info would be much appreciated.
