Happy man here... Wonders what an international phone call can do.. (tisk, technology why didin't I think of that) I have a new friend, Marco, he's made my day. Identifying my gun and the year I received it.

To me it's priceless anyway :-)

Here's his response to me.

Dear Duncan,
unfortunately we haven't the book where there is on the serial number of this gun.So I can't tell you exactly when we did this gun and where we sold it.I can tell you that the name of this Side by Side in 12ga with serial number 67244 is Polluce and we started the production of this model in 1967 and we stopped to make it about in 1977.Probably your S/S was made between 1972 and 1977.
For what is possible to see from the photos,the gun is in good condition and the engraving is very nice and for this reason the value of this gun is around 6.000/8.000 euro.
Best Regards
Marco Cavazzoni
