Welcome to the board. What a great gift and story for generations to come. I own a little Eibar 20 guage side lock that my father gave to me. I took all my first with that little gun.

skeettx: as requested PROOFS
Initials NF (in 2 places) Echave Arizmendi MAKER ?
" SZ under fore end stock Sylvestri Zamacola--His role ???
There is (hard to see) a 2 superimposed over crossed muskets. A revision ?

E.A. or F.A. on barrel, thought this was Eusebio Arizaga--Wrong, but it's there for a reason. Barrel maker, Company, is it incidental or important---Gut says big clue, but gut has gotten me off track with WRONG ! The initials have some swag or I'm reading too much into it. Click on link for proofs

I was helped by Kyrie, Spanish_Shotgun_Forums_Yahoo, to nail FN Echave Arizmendi and SZ Sylvestri Zamacola down. Did they just contribute ?? Who made this 'friggin' shotgun ? Time to calm down JohnBoy. Sorry 'bout dat !

There is a ton (Spanish Shotguns) of info on that site. Really helped and if you want to see high rent ($$$$) shotguns, give it a peek.

Now back to finding my trail on the 20 gauge. MY JOURNAL !
