3.5" Benelli Montefeltro?

Hello from Alabama--
I have a quick question that I hope someone can answer for me about a shotgun I just bought from a friend. He called it a 3.5" 12ga benelli montefeltro.
I grew up shooting ducks with a browning A5. I have been looking for a good, used 3.5" super black eagle, because of its slight "hump" in the receiver / sighting plane.
My friend knew what I was looking for and bought this gun for me. He said it was an early, transitional H&K / Benelli Montefeltro. He was really excited about its mint condition. He said he was told by the seller that the gun was used only for 2 rounds of sporting clays. It looks true to me. It is extremely fine and has a hawk or eagle medallion on the wood butt stock. I reimbursed my friend, but I knew right away that the gun is too nice for me to use to hunt.
I have not found another example of a 3.5" benelli montefeltro, and would like to know something about it. I surely hope it is worth the $1150 I gave my friend for it.
Please let me know what you can about this gun. Thanks for your time on this question.

The gun you have I have seen and held at the dealers. It seemed lighter than the SBE and prettier.
I think Bennellis were built for outside and the rougher and colder the weather the better. If you want something for the box I would buy something else, but that is just me. Happy New Year!
