Charles Daly/KBI Field Hunter .28 Ga O/U, made in Italy

Hi guys. I recently acquired a used CD/KBI Field Hunter O/U in .28 ga. It was made in Italy according to the barrel stamp. Did not get an owner's manual with it, and now that the CD/KBI has closed their doors and phones, and I don't know where or by whom it was made in Italy, was hoping someone might be able to offer some guidance on where to find a manual for said gun. Thanks. confused:

Can you post a picture?

It might help.

Darby - pics of the gun, the barrel flats and the water table with all of the proof markings, etc. might help someone ID it for you.

Large gun shop in Owensboro, KY had them for $169 NIB. I think I will stick with my Mossberg for now. Thinking about a Benelli.

That's a shame, I've talked to Mike Kassnar on the phone before and he seemed like a good guy, hopefully they can re-organize and land on their feet.
