Benelli announces the Super Black Eagle 3 Anniversary Edition, a limited-run firearm created as an expression of gratitude and respect for the nation whose sporting traditions have shaped generations of hunters and shooters.

Built on the inertia-driven Super Black Eagle 3 platform, this edition pairs performance with detailed, commemorative craftsmanship. Production is limited to just 250 total shotguns, 125 in 12-gauge 3-inch and 125 in 20-gauge 3-inch, with each firearm featuring its own custom sequential serial number.

The shotgun is fitted with hand-selected AA-grade walnut, delivering a clean, heirloom-quality look and feel. The receiver showcases deep, detailed engraving accented with gold inlay, bringing together iconic symbols of America in a presentation worthy of the nation's 250-year milestone. Rich in patriotic detail, the artwork captures the spirit, sacrifice, and strength that define the United States.

Prominently featured are the American flag, the enduring words of the Declaration of Independence, and a striking gold 250th-Anniversary emblem created specifically for this commemorative edition. At the center of the design is a custom artistic interpretation of the U.S. seal, highlighted by an eagle carrying olive branches on one side and arrows on the other—a timeless symbol of peace through strength and the enduring resolve of a nation forged in freedom.

The Semi-Quincentennial Anniversary Traditional Edition will be available in extremely limited quantities through select authorized dealers.
