I've got an old Boito O/U in 20 gauge. It's in pretty good shape--no rust, wood has a couple of nicks but is good overall. The gun shoots fine.

Can anyone give me an idea about when these guns were made (I know they're Brazilian), and whether the gun has any value?

Thanks!

Boito is a Brazilian made shotgun, imported by several companies in the USA during the 1970's. They look pretty good, however, the inner parts are generally stamped parts, and the tensil strength is minimal and wear out easily. In most cases, that I have run accross, the parts had to be fit to the specific gun. Real headache.

Not much collector value on these guns. Inexpensive and don't last long.
