Here you can have a look at some of the guns made over the years: over and under, side by side and three-barrel guns, plus enlarged pictures of some components.
Cortesi produce extra-finished guns, as you can see from the engravings.
Technical card and details of the 12 bore side by side ejector.
Technical details of the 12 bore three-barrel gun with the special Cortesi lock.
All inner parts are made from a steel ingot and forged by hand on the anvil, one by one. Special Cortesi lock. V-springs of the lock without chain, working on the tumbler by means of a small anti-friction wheel. Singular perfection and outstanding work in the making of the V-spring.
Double safety sears with their own single-leaf spring, dovetail fitting. Exceptionally drawn-back position of the rear barrel hook. Demibloc barrels and hooks. All parts, together with the gold inlays, are designed and made by Nerio Cortesi with a precious touch of eighteenth-century refined style.
