Stock Configuration & Condition: The furniture set for this shotgun is a checkered high grade walnut set including two forends. The forend for the 28 Gauge barrel set is a round profile forend. The left side of the nose shows a small series of compressions. The rest of the forend shows light handling with some surface level lines and minor compressions scattered throughout. The left rear tip has a small chip in the gloss finish. There are no visible cracks. The Original forend is a checkered Schnabel tipped thin profile forend. This forend shows very light handling with some very minor compressions and some light surface level lines. There are no visible chips or cracks. The stock is a checkered close radius grip with right handed palm swell, fluted raised comb and rubber butt pad. The length of pull is 14.75”. The cast is slightly right handed. With the 28” ported barrel installed the drop at comb, drop at heel is 1.25”. The shotgun with the 28” ported barrel weighs 7lbs 15 OZ. The wood on the stock shows minor scattered surface level lines and a few small compressions. There are no visible chips. There is a barely visible crack forming from the rear edge of the upper tang. The decelerator butt pad is soft and pliable. Overall the furniture included with this gun is in Very Good+-Excellent condition.
Type of Finish: Blued barrels, coin receiver and gold toned trigger.
Finish Originality: Original
Bore Condition: The three 12 gauge sets all show similar bore conditions. The bores are mirror bright with no pitting or erosion. The bores show some minor lines from use with some plastic fouling in the forcing cones. The ports on the ported barrels show only very minor fouling on the edges. All three 12 gauge sets rate 9.25/10.
The 20 gauge set is mirror bright with no pitting or erosion. The bores show some minor plastic fouling and very minor lines from use. Overall the bores rate 9.5/10.
The 28 gauge set bores are mirror bright with no pitting or erosion. The bores show some minor lines from use and almost no visible lines from use. Overall the bores rate 9.75/10.
Overall Condition: The receiver of the shogun shows beautiful engraving. The inside of the action shows some minor rub wear on the sides with some minor wear on the face. The right side of the gold trigger shows thinning finish as do the edges of the trigger guard. The upper tang has some rub wear from the safety. The coin finish shows no discoloration. The barrel sets all show handling and light marks from use. All of the blocs show minor rub wear on the sides. The 28 gauge set shows some thinning finish at the muzzles and on the lower barrel from the handguard that is concealed when assembled. The 20 gauge set shows some barely visible rub wear from the forend. I believe this set has seen the least amount of use. The 29.5” ported set shows minor rub marks from the forend that are concealed when assembled. The porting as mentioned is very clean. The 28” non ported set shows minor rub marks from the forend that are concealed when assembled. The 28” ported set shows only minor debris in the porting. The markings are very clear. The action to barrel lock up on all of the sets is tight with no movement especially when closed. 9/10 of the ejectors function correctly. The 28” 12 gauge ported barrel’s bottom ejector does not eject when the action is opened. Since this set uses the same forend I do not believe the forend is the issue. I believe it is just an issue with the engagement surface on the ejector. Overall this shotgun set is in Very Good+-Excellent condition.
Mechanics: The action functions correctly with the noted exception of the one ejector. We have not fired this shotgun. As with all used firearms, a thorough cleaning may be necessary to meet your maintenance standards.

Our Assessment: This 1999 Perazzi SCO Lusso “Goddess of the Hunt” edition is an extraordinary example of master engraving and complete sporting versatility, built around a coin-finished receiver engraved by Galleazzi. The receiver features exquisitely detailed depictions of the goddess herself along with finely executed hunting scenes, all rendered with the depth, balance, and elegance that define Perazzi’s highest grades. The artistry alone places this shotgun among the most striking SCO Lusso examples, but the rarity and completeness of the set elevate it even further.
What sets this ensemble apart is its five total barrel sets: three in 12 gauge, one in 20 gauge, and one in 28 gauge. The 20 and 28 gauge sets are threaded for Perazzi chokes, while the 12-gauge 28″ and 29.5″ ported sets feature fixed full upper barrels with bottom barrels also threaded for Perazzi chokes. The third 12-gauge set is threaded for Briley thin-wall chokes, offering additional flexibility. A dedicated high-grade walnut forend accompanies the 28-gauge barrels, while the remaining sets share a beautifully matched high-grade walnut forend. The stock is equally refined, featuring a close-radius grip with a right-handed palm swell, a fluted raised comb, and a fitted rubber butt pad.
As a complete kit, the set includes twenty-six total chokes, four cases, and all the necessary tools, wrenches, and spare parts, making it as functional as it is collectible. The combination of Galleazzi’s exceptional engraving, multiple bore options, matched high-grade woodwork, and comprehensive accessories creates a one-of-a-kind Perazzi system suitable for the serious competitor or the discerning collector. This is a truly elite, museum-worthy shotgun ensemble that embodies the finest craftsmanship Perazzi offered at the end of the 20th century.
