Pristine 1979 Weatherby Regency 12GA (30″ Barrels) – Italian Angelo Zoli / ICAM Engraved – Collector Quality (9.5+/10)

Description

Up for auction/sale is an absolute time-capsule example of a 1979 Weatherby Regency 12-Gauge Over/Under shotgun. Manufactured during Weatherby’s legendary “Italian Era,” this premium firearm represents the pinnacle of old-world craftsmanship before production shifted to Japan.

This specific shotgun is in immaculate, investment-grade condition (easily a 9.5 to 10 out of 10). It features deep, rich original bluing, a mirror-bright bore, and a stunning, high-gloss walnut stock with exceptional grain figure. There are virtually no signs of field wear, safe dings, or handling marks. The factory gold plating on the trigger and the “Weatherby Regency” receiver lettering remains completely bright and untarnished.

• “AE” Italian Proof Code: Stamped clearly on the barrel flats, explicitly documenting a 1979 build date at the world-renowned Brescia proof house.
• “ICAM” Master Engraving Hallmark: Intricately stamped on the underside of the receiver frame, verifying the deep, exquisite wildlife and scroll game-scene ornamentation was executed by the famous Incisioni Chimiche Artistiche Meccaniche studio.
• “AZ12” Maker’s Mark: Faintly hand-engraved to verify authentic production by master Italian gunmaker Angelo Zoli.
