I just picked up an EIG shotgun. I'm not familiar with Spanish shotguns other than that they can run the quality gamut from horrible to excellent. Does anyone out there know where the EIG falls?

EIG is not, to the best of my knowledge, a Spanish shotgun maker. I suspect it is the marking a US importer wanted on the barrels of some small number of working mans guns he had made in Spain for small dollars. But who knows?
When it comes to Spanish shotguns the marking on the top of the barrels is advertising. The manufacturing data (including the makers mark of the shop that built the gun) will be found on the water table and barrel flats. If you would care to put up photos that clearly show the markings on the water table and barrel flats we can likely figure out who the maker was and when it was made.
