Geo. for your information. There is a picture of the Royal Warrant making Victor Sarasqueta gunmaker to the king, dated 1902, on pg. 29 of Wieland's Spanish Best.

I doubt if your info. about Victor Sarasqueta starting his company in 1904 is correct. I couldn't see a Royal Warrant being granted to an upstart or non existing company. I would think he would have been an established company in 1902.
