There are two inferior Bernardellis. One is marked "Pietro Bernardelli" or "P. Bernardelli". The other is "Santini Bernardell".

I ordered a P. Bernardelli double about 19 years ago. It was really poorly constructed; I looked at it for about 10 seconds before sending it back for a refund.

Good info. The P. Bernardellis are the most common of the non-VBs.

The V. Bernardelli guns are vastly superior and are world class guns, IMO.
