Breda Semi-Auto 12 Gauge Shotgun – Made in Italy – Removable Dust Cover Design

This is a Breda semi-automatic shotgun chambered in 12 gauge, manufactured in Brescia, Italy. Breda is well known for producing high-quality firearms, and their semi-auto shotguns are often compared to early Beretta designs, offering reliable operation and solid build quality.

This example features a classic sporting configuration with a blued steel receiver and nicely figured wood furniture. The shotgun shows normal handling wear consistent with use, including light marks on the stock and metal surfaces, but remains in good overall condition.

This model is designed with a removable dust cover, and the cover has been taken off on this example. This is quite common, as many users prefer running it this way to allow a clear and unobstructed view of the bolt and internal action while cycling. It gives a direct look at how the system operates, which is one of the unique and appealing characteristics of this platform.

Importantly, the original dust cover is included, and can be reinstalled at any time depending on user preference.

The action cycles smoothly, and the internal components appear complete. The bore appears clean. The shotgun is equipped with a removable choke system (marked approx. .025), making it suitable for a variety of applications including hunting or clay shooting.

Overall, this is a solid Italian-made semi-auto shotgun that offers good value for shooters or collectors looking for a classic European sporting firearm with a distinctive and visible operating system.
