I tried a search a couple of times and didn't turn up anything on a Garcia Arms (Rossi) made double barrel hammer gun. I bought it new back in early 70s for $78 brand new.
It has 28 inch barrels. I could have gotten 20inch coach gun back then, but purchased what was on hand. It has to be the most accurate shotgun that I have ever shot. All of the screws in this gun pointed the same direction. The South American wood has a dark plastic coating. I can say it's durable.
A gunsmith friend of mine introduced to me clay pigeons shooting one day against his semi-pro over and under 12 gauge whatever. Me being new at this I surprised him with all of my hits. He commenced to try my Amaded Rossi hammer 12 gauge.....he was amazed at the accuracy of it. He couldn't believe a $78 dollar made in Brazil had the barrels put in perfect alignment of each other. An amazing gun to me.
Just wondered if anyone else had a Rossi double with hammers. Oh, the break open lever and the hammers are color case hardened.
Thanks for listening......44 centerfire
I wouldn't sell this gun for any amount of money....Oh, maybe I would lol! Haven't shot it in 30 years. Back then I used an old iron Herters loader for 12 gauge using red AAs, green Rem., and maroon Federals. Lot's of memory with the Rossi......
