The ladies' father, Stefano Fausti, started the company in 1948, then trained his daughters in fine guns & gunmaking - as he had no sons to take the company over when he retired.
He has since retired, and they have been running the company.
Now if you worked for them,and those three boss beauties came up to you and said frowning will you pretty please come in next Saturday for a little overtime? We REALLY need you and we will come in and bring you some home made cookies Please/pretty Please) Could you turn em down?
Ok,where is the Miller Man?/Joe, you said you would NEVER kiss butt.
I said somtimes you have to a little!
Those shot guns look very nice. As do the ladies. The only problem I see is I have no idea which shotgun to choose. Not being an upper crust elite gentleman of means the only shotguns I know about are cheap Winchester pumps. Matter of fact I doubt they'd let me in the showroom as I don't own a $5,000 suit.
Makes me wonder why American shotgun makers abandoned the SxS. I dislike the looks of the stack barrels and most pumps are made as cheap as the makers can get away with.
What a shame.

madman4570,
Please don't take what I say in one thread out of context and use it in a thread about a different subject.
I have no problem with working overtime or helping out the company I work for.
As for home made cookies, they better be chocolate chip.
Notice Tom Selleck's suit; if I had the money it cost I could move out of IL.

Dunno Joe, looks like he cant afford a razor! Seriously, he`s a great guy. I had a deceased girl friend that knew him and managed a big and tall store that he owned the building. Her name was Martine and I noticed he named his girl friend in crossfire trail "Martine". He owns and flys his own helicopter too! Somewhere if I can find it I have a picture of him and her together.

"Martine" was the name of his lady love in Monte Walsh.
The Lady in Crossfire Trail was called "Anne."

There is one American made SxS that has had me drooling and scheming as to how to come up with the money. I've heard very good reports about it too. It is the RBL 12 made by Connecticut Shotgun. Feast your eyes here http://www.rblshotgun.com/rbl16.htm and on their inventory here http://www.csmcspecials.com/SearchResults.asp?Cat=37 . If anyone here is rich, they also make a drop-dead gorgeous A.H. Fox that is so beautiful (see http://www.connecticutshotgun.com/csmc/ ... lbum/.html ) that it just makes me want to weep ..... especially due to the fact that they are so far out of my reach that I see no prospect of ever getting one short of inheriting a massive windfall from unknown sources. These are American made shotguns that rival anything else made anywhere (although I hear that 86er makes some dandy SxS's as well).
Now those Fausti ladies make an impressive SxS .... I've seen their advert in the Double Gun journal to which I subscribe ...... and I subscribe, by the way, because of two things a) the pictures in those journals are probably the closest I'll ever get to those nice guns and b) they got beautiful gun photography in those journals. Unfortunately those Fausti guns might as well be on the moon so far as my chances of ever acquiring one goes. Anyway, I'd take one of those new A.H. Foxes over anything else out there, if I was loaded, that is.

Kirk, those guns are so far out of my league I can't even afford to look at the pictures .
What I don't understand is how the utilitarian SxS shotgun evolved into a super expensive status symbol of the elite, rich and famous. The last American SxS I might have been able to afford is the old Savage guns. Now they are long gone and unobtanium.
Oh well.

I just like to look at the pictures ..... kind of like going to the Louvre to admire the art. I don't know why the sxs has become so expensive. I know that fairly cheap used ones, about 100 years old, often show up at the local shooting supplies store that I haunt. Trouble is they are not designed to handle steel shot very well, although there is expensive bismuth stuff out there that is fine to use with those old double barreled shotguns.
