Description:

Since 1932 Grulla Armas has been producing fine arms in Eibar, Spain, and have created a name for themselves as makers of very fine guns and rifles. This pair is built with blued steel barrels featuring single bead sights on the smooth solid ribs which are marked with a gold "1" or "2" respectively at the base, bands of light engraving at the breeches, import marks under the forends, 2005 date of manufacture, and 2 3/4 inch chokes with automatic ejectors. The attractive coin finished self-opening sidelock actions displays beautifully cut floral scroll engraving with lovely use of the negative space with the scroll extending to the left hand rolled triggerguard protecting the double triggers, the left hand throw toplevers, and the automatic tang safeties. The engraver signed their work "MADINA" on the triggerplates. The wood is exceptionally well figured and shows multi-point checkering on the semi-beavertail forends which have engraved fittings with a gold "1" or "2" on the Anson button releases and the straight grip stocks inlaid with silver inscription ovals marked "NGN" and showing checkered bare butts. Included is a fine oak & leather takedown case with canvas cover that houses both the "A" and "B" guns. Barrel and stock measurements (R/L): bore diameter nine inches from the breech both proved and measured at 18.6mm (.732 inches); choke constriction .017/.009 inches; minimum wall thickness .026/.025 inches; 1 3/8 inch drop at comb; 2 1/8 inch drop at heel; 14 15/16 inch length of pull; cast-on (off for a left handed shooter); weight 6 lbs. 9 oz.

Rating Definition:

Excellent overall, retaining 99% original blue and coin finishes with minor handling evidence and sharp checkering on the stock and forend. The case is excellent. Mechanically excellent.
