Ive been a collector of Spanish firearms for over fifty years. My sources are various and include, in no particular order, the national arms industrial registry (1830 1940), a host of lesser books on and by the gun makers of Eibar and Barcelona, period newspaper articles and trade periodicals, biographies of the individuals involved, and decades of correspondence with people in or retired from the firearm business in Spain.

Kyrie,

I'm trying to establish where you got your statements from specific to Victor Sarasqueta, and when he started his gunmaking trade and business, etc.? Sources, references, etc.

Apparently, Wieland interviewed Victor's grandson in 1989, Victor III Sarasqueta, and got his facts from the horses mouth so to speak.
