There have certainly been Spanish copies of the Beesley/Purdey design. Urgartechea made a model 1040 in the 1930s. They are very scarce.

AyA made a model Senior between about 1979 and 1987. Approximately 40 were made, including several pairs, a trio - and a set of 6. All but one (a 16 bore) were 12 bores. All (except one) had best Purdey style rose and scroll engraving, straight hand stocks and double triggers. The 'odd man out' had a pistol grip and single (non selective) trigger and is now in my possession.
Actions were true Beesley self opening and the ejectors were also the Purdey style (not Southgate). There is some information in this article on AyA's own website http://www.aya-fineguns.com/historia_en....nuestros%20dias about half way down.
AyA also made guns with a Purdey type sidelock, but lever cocked and without the Beesley style self opening. These were made I believe in the 1950s or 1960s. I have only ever seen one and they are also very scarce.
