[Paul G]

One of a kind Giulio Bernardelli .470 Nitro double rifle for sale. Built in 2018 in Gardone Italy. This is a one of a kind rifle by one of the greatest families in gun making history. Even the leather case is exquisite. I will deliver the rifle in person to your FFL or you can come pick up in person at my FFL if need be, no shipping. Rifle has not been fired outside regulating and is in 100% condition. Asking $49,000

Beautiful rifle.

Is that a boxlock action or a "round action" also known as a trigger-plate or "dickson" action?

If it were me, I'd consider listing it at either Holt's in London or Morphy's. Bernadelli is a well known italian best maker but his followers, like A&S, Luciano Bosis, and F.L.L.I. frequent a few global venues.

Yes they start at 40K euros new, before any engraving, woodwork, etc. The shotguns can go for quite a bit more than that. If you want one like this going to cost a LOT LOT more than 49K, imagine with import Tariffs, sales tax and retail profit, imagine you would be 75 to 80K. Cheap compared to a new H&H or Rigby. I wouldn't sell it for anything less, don't need the money so keep it for my kids worst-case.....

Be careful of auctions. Some are up to 25% premium AND if little interest or only 1 person wants it, the sellig price would be very low; and then subtract 20-25% for the seller's premium. I buy at auctions often, but never sell at auctions.

Kind of sad really that such a rifle was bought, then never fired or took hunting and placed in an auction to be sold for a small percentage of its original price.

If I was fortunate enough to own that, first thing I would do would be to test it out!

Man I have over 100 rifles as it is, taking a Rigby double to Africa next week. Can only bring 2 guns, and my 14 year old going with me of course wants something he can shoot also. If someone wants it to take it hunting awesome and hope they enjoy it, if not I will maybe take it to Tanzania next year.

I still feel bad the original owner who paid so much didn't get to enjoy it. That rifle deserves to be in Africa!

Best of luck on your trip and post a hunt report for or those of us unable to travel at this time!
