DAVIDE PEDERSOLI VISIT. #1

Post by DuncaninFrance » Sun Oct 09, 2011 1:41 pm

Here are the pictures I took when I visited Davide Pedersoli in Gardone Val Trompia, Italy on September 15th.
I was warmly welcomed by Gloria Ardesi from their Export Department who showed me round. When I asked if I could take photographs in the works she said "Of course!"
There are 51 images some of which I have titled.
Enjoy!

Duncan,

FANTASTIC pictures.
I already decided to sell one of my Mosin Nagants to make room for a muzzle loader pistol.
After looking at your pictures I made 2 other decisions.
My .22 WZ48 has to go to my collection to make room for a .45 Kentucky percussion rifle AND.........I definitely have to make a trip to Pedersoli.
I want to see all that with my own eyes.

Thanks for sharing.
I really appreciate it.

And now.....back to the pictures.
I'm going to take another look. :D

Met vriendelijke groet,

Martin
