Antonio Zolli Savana E Double Rifle, side by side, in 9.3x74R

[carpediem]

I have the opportunity to purchase the above named rifle, in 98% condition for $5500.00 Canadian.  It comes in the original box and has the factory target.  The rifle is sighted in to cross at 100 yards and the target has two neat little holes that are overlapping.  The wood is nothing spectacular, the receiver is silver with a smattering of engraving.

I checked the Zolli website and could find nothing on double side by side rifles.

Does anyone have any thoughts comments etc. regarding this rifle.

Your comments are appreciated.

Thanking you in advance,

Point #1.........I wouldn't spend that kind of money on something I couldn't put my hands on.
Point #2..........I'd check a gun values book at my library to get an idea of condition/value; get informed about the gun & company.
Point #3..........If it got to the point where I was leaning forward on it, I'd pay a qualified gunsmith to come with me & evaluate its condition.
Point #4..........Check out availability of reloading components, tools; factory ammo.
I realize you may already have done some of this, but I thought it might help, anyway. Good luck, jd45
