    Congrats,you have the Ferrari of shotguns.
    Best bet is contact Perazzi themselves and quote the serial nos and details.Google it for correct address.
    Wishing you many good breaks and safe shooting with it.:)

    There is a site which lists the proofing dates for the barrel.

    Look at the receiver end of the barrel and you will see he proofing marks on the bottom. Just compare with the list on the site below and it should give you a fairly accurate date.
