Hi, Randy,

I have never seen one, so can only give you book information. The Blue Book does not list an O/U Model 83, only side by side models 105 and 106. The manufacturer is in Brescia, Italy. The guns seem to be fairly high priced, with a top (100% condition) of around $1300, with the note to add $500 for hand engraving.

Sorry I have nothing more, but maybe this will help a little.
