12 gauge, 28' over/under barrels, S/N 75231, F/M chokes. 14.25' LOP; 2.5 ' drop at the heel. The top rib is engraved Acero Viuda E Hijos De Sarasqueta Eibar. Sep 22, 2005 Of the three, the Victor Sarasqueta guns were generally the highest quality. Be aware that the Spanish guns of the time were built to a price - the cheap ones were not nearly as nice or as well made as the higher grade guns from the same manufacturer.

I am considering a Victor Sarasqueta sidelock and would like to know more about the quality of that maker. I've heard a number of concerns expressed over the years about Spanish shotguns from the post-WWII era, such as improperly hardened internal parts. This particular gun is clearly finished as a best gun - full coverage scroll engraving, Woodward style carved fences, decent (although not spectacular) wood.
It's in very good, but not perfect condition (some light freckling on the barrels). The asking price is relatively low for a Spanish sidelock from a known maker, which I attribute to this maker's being long out of business. So, are there things I should be concerned about with Victor Sarasqueta as a maker, or is this a gun that should be relatively free of problems or concerns, absent abuse or neglect.

I have a number of doubles, including two Victor Sarasqueta sidelocks, one from the 1930's and another from just post WWII. In my judgment, they rank equally with two higher grade AyA sidelocks and two Ugartechea O/U sidelocks that I have, Merkel 303 clones.
Never a problem of any kind, give great service, and look and handle well to boot! I don't know if they would be called 'best' guns or not, but they are very good, IMHO. I think the bad knocks against Spanish guns stem from the flood of very low priced guns they turned out, not their upper grade guns. #438264 - 03/08/16 02:26 PM Re: VIctor Sarasqueta Shotgun Quality Sidelock Registered: 09/20/07 Posts: 457.
