Also John, if you go to www.fega.com select "the engravers" and click on master engravers you will find my name at the bottom of the list. Click on my name to see a few photos, namely an H&H and Win M21 done for the makers.

Good shotguns though shortened name when spoken sounds like someone was just got stung by a honey bee, hornet or a bull ant.

When I refer to my favorite shot gun which is a 16 GA #2 Aguirre and Aranzabal, I simply write AyA.

Calling an AyA anything other than an A and A in English is a little like calling a Porsche a "PORSH" in English or a Jaguar a "Jagwire".
Yes, many people do it & every one will know what your talking about but doing so speaks volumes about your education level, background & life's experiences.
I'll admit to slipping up on the AyA ever once in a while but try not to. I never took Spanish so I have an excuse.

You know, Garcia y Vega is typically just called 'Garcia Vega'.
Perhaps 'AA' would be acceptable? Just skip the 'and'.
You could shoot your AA with AAA wood after the AA meeting, eh?
