Overview<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

FABARM stands for Fabbrica Bresciana di Armi, literally an arms manufacturer of Brescia. Its history is part of the dense gunmaking culture of northern Italy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Historical Background<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

FABARM\u2019s official history traces the factory to around 1900 and the Galesi family, one of the Brescian arms dynasties. The company later expanded from side-by-side shotguns and pistols into over-and-unders, semi-automatics, pumps, and international distribution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Classic Products and Craft Traditions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Important historical references include side-by-side shotguns, over-and-under competition guns, Goldenmatic long-recoil semi-automatics, and the ELLEGI gas-operated semi-automatic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why It Matters<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

FABARM gives the Gun makers section a modern Brescia example: regional family roots, product diversification, export strategy, and postwar industrial growth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
