Abstract: We report on the first results obtained from our development project of focusing gamma-rays ($>$60 keV) by using Laue lenses. The first lens prototype model has been assembled and tested. We describe the technique adopted and the lens focusing capabilities at about 100 keV.<br />Comment: 8 pages 9 figures, to be published in SPIE Procs. 7011, 2008
