Until a few months ago I had little experience with Spanish double guns over many decades, except for a two barrel set made by Luis Arrizabalaga around 1937 apparently for the Duke of Danista. More recently I have received a Model 124 made by Martin Ugartaburu, and then an interesting Model 8 by Victor Sarasqueta , made before 1963 when it was rebarreled in England. Attached is a picture of the Sarasqueta locks . I was fascinated with the extent of their finishes. For pictures of Baker shotguns and information on the same, click below.

The Weiland '"Spanish Best" book gives a bit of info on the surname. I was told that Garate, the head of Pedro Arrizabalaga at the time, viewed the Luis Arrizabalaga made in 1937 , and said it was as good as guns could be made in that period. He told my friend that the gun, an exact copy of a H and H Royal including engraving style , was made for the Duke of Danista. My friend asked if the Duke was a good shot, and Garate said that the Duke was the worst shot in all of Spain.
