| Help with Italian/Euro engraver's name...... | Login/Join |
| one of us |
I'm contemplating buying a Perazzi with some nice engraving on it.....seller says it's factory (which really doesn't mean much except that it was made that way before being imported) and says name of engraver is, and I quote, "Pinii, Prinni, or Rinni, can't make it out." Anyone know who this engraver could be, and if so, anything about him? xxxxxxxxxx When considering US based operations of guides/outfitters, check and see if they are NRA members.

It isn't Pedretti, is it? Would be work by one of the engraving gods if it were . . . Mehul Kamdar "I ask, sir, what is the militia? It is the whole people. To disarm the people is the best and most effectual way to enslave them."-- Patrick Henry | |||

You sure it wasn't Guido...all Italians are named Guido...wait I am Italian and not named Guido...  Mike Never under estimate the internet community's ability to reply to your post with their personal rant about their tangentially related, single occurrence issue.  What I have learned on AR, since 2001: 1. The proper answer to: Where is the best place in town to get a steak dinner? is…You should go to Mel's Diner and get the fried chicken. 2. Big game animals can tell the difference between .015 of an inch in diameter, 15 grains of bullet weight, and 150 fps. 3. There is a difference in the performance of two identical projectiles launched at the same velocity if they came from different cartridges. 4. While a double rifle is the perfect DGR, every 375HH bolt gun needs to be modified to carry at least 5 down. 5. While a floor plate and detachable box magazine both use a mechanical latch, only the floor plate latch is reliable. Disregard the fact that every modern military rifle uses a detachable box magazine. 6. The Remington 700 is unreliable regardless of the fact it is the basis of the USMC M40 sniper rifle for 40+ years with no changes to the receiver or extractor and is the choice of more military and law enforcement sniper units than any other rifle. 7. PF actions are not suitable for a DGR and it is irrelevant that the M1, M14, M16, & AK47 which were designed for hunting men that can shoot back are all PF actions. 8. 95 deg F in Africa is different than 95 deg F in TX or CA and that is why you must worry about ammunition temperature in Africa (even though most safaris take place in winter) but not in TX or in CA. 9. The size of a ding in a gun's finish doesn't matter, what matters is whether it’s a safe ding or not. 10. 1 in a row is a trend, 2 in a row is statistically significant, and 3 in a row is an irrefutable fact. 11. Never buy a WSM or RCM cartridge for a safari rifle or your go to rifle in the USA because if they lose your ammo you can't find replacement ammo but don't worry 280 Rem, 338-06, 35 Whelen, and all Weatherby cartridges abound in Africa and back country stores. 12. A well hit animal can run 75 yds. in the open and suddenly drop with no initial blood trail, but the one I shot from 200 yds. away that ran 10 yds. and disappeared into a thicket and was not found was lost because the bullet penciled thru. I am 100% certain of this even though I have no physical evidence. 13. A 300 Win Mag is a 500 yard elk cartridge but a 308 Win is not a 300 yard elk cartridge even though the same bullet is travelling at the same velocity at those respective distances. | |||

I can't say, looking at it on the net, it appears to be fine engraving, but it's really hard to evaluate by pics. I doubt it's Pedretti, since I think you could differentiate the "t's" in his signature. I'm thinking it might be P. Rinni but that is just a guess and I don't even know if a P. Rinni exists. Here's the gun.....if someone else buys it, no problem......I'm spending money faster on collectible coins than I can make it......

I appreciate the people who've looked at this and thought about it. I realized it was a difficult question with the information provided. However, due to my overindulgence in another area in which I collect last night (spent way too much money at an auction) I won't be buying this gun in the immediate future, nice looking gun tho. xxxxxxxxxx When considering US based operations of guides/outfitters, check and see if they are NRA members.

Probably Giusy Rampini, a beautiful woman and a great wildlife artist and engraver. Hope whatever you're buying instead of this gun is as good. Good hunting!

Is she an engraver or a painter? Looking at her work and web site, I can't tell if she is an engraver.....however it is beautiful work. xxxxxxxxxx When considering US based operations of guides/outfitters, check and see if they are NRA members.

She does both. Her website is not very detailed, unfortunately. Lovely work, yes, and so is the gun that you were thinking of. Mehul Kamdar "I ask, sir, what is the militia? It is the whole people. To disarm the people is the best and most effectual way to enslave them."-- Patrick Henry | |||

I'm still thinking, they've lowered the price......however, looking at the style, I don't think it is hers. Hopefully I have sold some other "stuff" that will partially offset my purchases Sat evening. I know there are probably a dozen absolutely world class engravers that I could name but I'm quite an admirer of Manrico Torcoli's work. I don't have any of his yet, but I'm working on it. Besides the fantasy work which he "invented" (which I really like but is more controversial) here are a pair of sideplate of his (sorry don't know what rifle it was on)...... rhinos and.... cats Also I apologize for the links but I don't know how to transfer the images directly. xxxxxxxxxx When considering US based operations of guides/outfitters, check and see if they are NRA members.
