Description
The Beretta S56E 12-Gauge is a classic, field-style over-and-under shotgun manufactured by Pietro Beretta in Italy, primarily during the late 1960s and 1970s. It is highly regarded as a durable, lightweight, and affordable entry point into vintage Italian shotguns. It serves as a mechanical predecessor to the famous modern Beretta 686 Silver Pigeon series

Description: Italian craftsmanship — Beretta S56E O/U sporting shotgun for the discerning shooter.
The S56E is built as a traditional game gun, meaning it balances exceptionally well for upland bird hunting and casual clay shooting. Because it predates Beretta's modern high-volume manufacturing eras, the gun features distinct hand-finished scroll engravings on a coin-finished frame
