Lames Model 801 12ga. O/U - The Firearms Forum

Doug W. · 04-27-2003, 08:52 PM

I have an oppurtunity to purchase a shotgun but have no idea of its worth. It is a Lames model 801 in 12ga. Made in Italy Imported by someone in Denver Colorado (forgot the name)...also there is "Chiavari" on it (think that's the spelling) It is engraved with lots of scroll work on the receiver and trigger gaurd. Seems to be good workmanship, fairly tight. shows signs of being well used, but not too abused. The asking price is $479.00. The guy selling could not tell me anything about it, and I am doubting his ability to price the gun correctly....can anyone help me out?

thanks,
Doug

Doug, no I do not have a price on the Lama but I am sure there will be someone along that can give you a good idea on the price. But welcome and make yourself at home; seems to me though that you can't find many O/Us at that kind of price.

Well now!...Welcome to ya Doug W., We'll at least look it up for ya...until someone with more knowledge of the O/U comes along...

Well, I'm fairly familiar with the piece.

We need to decide which version (the model number really does not tell me that much). How is the gun choked and what is the barrel length?

Oh, that's CHIAVARI, Italy where the gun was made.

Doug W. · 04-28-2003, 10:41 AM

Thanks for the Welcome!

The gun is 12ga. with Full and Modified chokes labled on the chamber. (fixed chokes) I believe it is a 30" barrel. I am no expert appraiser, but my guess would be in about 80% condition.
Lames Model 801. I'm not sure what else I can tell you.....

Thanks again!
Doug

CountryGunsmith · 04-28-2003, 06:40 PM

All right, then. Assuming a field stock and standard rib (as opposed to wide rib and Monte-Carlo stock), you are looking at $400 max.

Doug W. · 04-29-2003, 01:23 AM

Great! Thanks for all the info. This seems like a good website....I will inform some friends and be sure to keep it bookmarked!

thanks again!

Doug

I have a Lames Model 801 - made in Chiavari Italy, with the wide rib, full/full 30 inch barrel, with the Monte Carlo stock, I think it was originally imported by Parker-Hale. It is in excellent shape, fewer than three boxes of ammo have been put through it. What is this gun worth?

southernshooter · 09-12-2006, 09:09 PM

Welcome Redhawk
Does it have seperated barrels?

Thanks for the information, I appreciate your rapid response!

southernshooter · 09-12-2006, 09:23 PM

No problem the reason I asked about the seperated barrels is their is a California Trap Model I just wanted to make sure you got the right price

on target · 05-05-2008, 11:18 AM

the gun is made in Italy and was mostly used for club target shooting is what I have been told I have one and be carefull because they tend to double fire I believe they sold new for about 600.00 to 700.00 dollars.

whattyups · 07-27-2008, 09:11 PM

I just bought a Lames-Faverzani 12 ga shotgun. Apparently the serial number seems to be 1773. Made in Chiavari, Italy. Also has the markings Acciaio Cogne MK. It is an over and under. Can't figure out what kind of choke it has, could not find any markings. Anyone have ideas on this gun and if it is any good? I have a picture but not sure how to get it in this message. Thanks.
