Factory Relief Engraved and Gold Inlaid Victor Sarasqueta 16 Gauge Hand Detachable Sidelock Double Barrel Shotgun Two Barrel Set with Case

Built with blued steel chopperlump barrels featuring a single white bead sight on the matted concave solid rib which is marked "Fa DE VICTOR SARASQUETA-EIBAR-", "1", and with the company logo all in gold inlay, extensive scroll engraving with stag and hind scenes at either breech, "FABRICADA ESPECIAMENTE PARA" and "HW SCHWEINSBERG" on the right and left tubes respectively, 1953 dated Spanish proofs, and 2 3/4 inch chambers with automatic ejectors. The barrels are fitted to a coin finished hand detachable sidelock action which displays deep floral engraving surrounding a dog and mallards on the left, a dog and pheasants on the right, and the Australian crest on the underside all rendered in fine gold inlay. The embellishment continues with a trio of mallards on the triggerguard as well as a gold inlaid three letter monogram "HWS" on the toplever. The gun features bushed firing pins, double triggers, and a tang mounted automatic safety with gold "S" indicator. The gun is fitted with a nicely figured and multi-point checkered forend with engraved fittings and a pistol grip stock with teardrop carved drop points, plastic grip cap, raised cheekpiece, and a Noshoc recoil pad. Included is a second matching engraved 27 5/8 inch barrel set in 16 gauge numbered "2" as well as a wooden takedown case that houses the set. The H. W. Schweinsberg above appears to be Harry Schweinsberg, well-known missionary to Columbia and author of "Inca Gold". Barrel measurements for the extra set (U/O): bore diameter nine inches from the breech both proofed and measured 16.8mm (.661 inches); choke constriction .021/.025 inches; minimum wall thickness .018/.027 inches. Barrel and stock measurements (R/L): bore diameter nine inches from the breech both proofed and measured 16.8mm (.661 inches); choke constriction .003/.021 inches; minimum wall thickness .031/.028 inches; 1 7/16 inch drop at comb; 2 5/16 inch drop at heel; 14 1/4 inch length of pull; weight 7 lbs.

Rating definitionVery good overall, retaining 97% original blue, coin, and gold finishes, some spotting/oxidation on the action and barrels, loss of gold on the triggers, scratches and dings on the wood, and overall sharp checkering. Mechanically excellent. The case is very good. The extra barrel is very good with some pitting.
