Marocchi Info?

[thrumper]

Does anyone here know anything about Marocchi shotguns? My dad has two of them O/U. But for the life of me I cant find anything to indicate what model they are or when they where manufactured. The Marocchi website is somewhat limited and it doesn't seem like there is anywhere to buy one here in the states. Can someone advise me on a good link, or if someone is knowledgeable on these guns, that would be great, thanks.

There is an import mark from Syle, NY, NY. And the M Marocchi logo mark in the break action.

Post more info, hard to go with just a name.

Gauge?
What is printed on the barrels?
Barrel length?
Vent Rib?
Ejectors?
Fixed chokes (What are they) or choke tubes?

Its a 12 gauge over under. The only thing printed on the barrel is Syle, NY, NY. The serial number is on the break action. Barrel length seems to be 28". I dont know about the choke, no tubes though. Here are a couple more pictures. Rib and Ejectors. That
s all I know.

Book has the Siles imports in four models

Field Master I ---12ga 26or 28" barrels, engraved coin finish reciever, single non-selective trigger, extractors, choke tubes

Field Master II ---same, except with single select trigger

Skeet Model----26" barrels, fixed Skeet/Skeet choke

Trap Model ----30" barrels, fixed Full/modifed chokes

Very good quality guns

Edit: I did not find any privious sales or any for sale on the web....Book has them at $350.00 for 98%condition.....For that price you can never replace them ...keep them and shoot away. The new imports are $700.00-3,000

Thank you. When you are measuring the barrel length do you measure all the way to the break or only to the end of the chamber where the end of the shell sits?

[thrumper]

And which book are you referring to?

[Thefeeder]

Measure the entire barrel

OK, thank you very much for the input. Now I can tell my dad about his guns that I might not give back after shooting them yesterday
