Yes Victor Sarasqueta made a model 211 shotgun with beesley locks but with the "Bury" type action. For the quality and innovation of this great and very good Spanish manufacturer, there is doubt if ever, at the beginning of the century, he built a copy of Purdey ... there is no evidence, just suspicion.
From this model other shotguns are not known, this could have been the prototype that made but then abandoned - it's the 40's!
Victor Sarasqueta model 211 - I hope the photos help:
Some other Spanish manufacturers did some more shotguns with Beesley's system and integral copies of Purdey, but in small quantities: AyA states that some 40 shotguns and the Ugartechea that we recently learned that only manufactured about 25 (published brand letter with that information) .
Over the years, the idea that Purdey had judicially executed Ugartechea was fed, and therefore abandoned the production of this excellent shotgun, which owes nothing to the real Purdey.
In a recent conversation with Mr. Ignacio Ugartechea, he denied the existence of this pressure from Purdey and reported that he abandoned the production of this shotgun because of the complications and requirements that it incorporates, since this system is very sensitive, namely the automatic extractors and their adjustment. There would have to be master builders dedicated to this problem.
Such a situation must have happened with so many other manufacturers who made some shotgun copies of Purdey but later abandoned it:
I know several, from British, Belgian, Russian, German and of course Spanish. I have not yet found any French and Italian.
I publish photos of the Ugartechea model 1040 (a pair) and the AyA Senior model (there is the 57 model in the older version):
