The barrel flats and water table are stamped with standard Spanish commercial proofs. The receivers and lock plates are fully engraved in fine Holland & Holland style Arabesque scroll with fine punch dot backgrounds, cross hatched shading, and "ARRIETA y CIA" marked on each lock plate. The actions feature dual triggers with articulated front triggers, hand detachable locks, and tang mounted automatic safeties. Fitted with multi-point checkered splinter forearm with engraved fittings, Anson style push button latches, and straight grip stock with inset initial ovals inscribed "BME", and Pachmayr White Line recoil pad. The specific measurements for this shotgun are: 2 3/4 chambers; improved cylinder/improved modified chokes; 1 3/8 inch drop at comb; 1 3/4 inch drop at heel; 14 7/8 inch length of pull.

Rating Definition:

Excellent overall. 99% original finish remains with some light handling marks, and small forearm marks on the barrels. The engraving is sharp and highly detailed. The wood has sharp checkering, and just a few small dings and light surface scratches on the buttstock. Mechanically excellent. The case is excellent with some small scuffs on the exterior.
