    I have been told that Bill Mains did factory engraving
    ,gold inlay work, for Perazzi in the 1980's
    Anyone know that to be true? I would appreciate any
    Information. Thank you.

    I think it's true, because Bill has work for several gunmaker including Ithaca, Perazzi amongst others.

    Thank you for the information. I have a signed MX3 ORO by Mains. Carlo Pasotti also has signed the piece. I know Pasotti was a very avid engraver for Perazzi in the early 1980's. Pasotti did the Bullino engraving and Mains did all the gold inlay work. Beautiful gun. The story I was told was that Mains wanted to learn Bullino so in exchange for lessons he worked a deal to do engraving and inlay work for various makers in Val Trompia. Sounds that it could be true. Thank you again
