Matched Pair of Factory Vincente Alberdi Signed Engraved and Gold Inlaid Arrieta Y Cia Sidelock Side by Side Shotguns with Boxes

A) Arrieta y Cia Sidelock Shotgun

Both shotguns manufactured in 2003. The pair is built with blued steel barrels with single bead sight on the matted rib and a spray of floral scroll engraving at the breech, and right barrel marked "Foa de Escopetas Arrietta-Elgoibar Espana", chokes marked improved cylinder/modified, and chambers marked 2 3/4 inches. The barrels are mounted to coin sidelock actions with near full coverage engraving with "ARRIETA Y. CIA." on the locks and "FABRICA DE/ARRIETA Y CIA./ELGOIBAR" on the underside. The engraving works its way onto the top lever and triggerguard where it surrounds a gold inlaid fleur-de-lis flanked by the letters "A" and "C" surrounded by a wire border. The guns are gold inlaid with a "1" or "2" on the ribs, toplevers, and forends. The engraving on both guns is signed "V. Alberdi" for the noted engraver Vicente Alberdi. The actions are fitted with double triggers (front trigger is articulated) and automatic tang mounted safeties. The pair is mounted in nicely figured, beautifully contrasted multipoint checkered walnut splinter forends with engraved fittings and Anson button releases and straight grip stocks with teardrop flats, "LWM" inscribed initial escutcheons, and checkered bare butts. Each gun includes export paperwork, proofing certificate, and box. Barrel and stock measurements (R/L): bore nine inches from the breech proofed at 18.5mm (.728 inches) and both measured at .727 inches; choke constriction of .013/.019 inches; minimum wall thickness .030/.028 inches; 1 1/2 inch drop at the comb; 2 1/4 inch drop at the heel; 14 1/4 inch length of pull; weight 6 lbs. 14 oz.

ConditionExcellent, retaining 99% plus original blue finish with limited handling marks, some light handling marks and crisp engraving. Wood is very fine with some handling marks, a hairline off the right lock, and crisp checkering. Mechanically excellent. Box is very good.
