from a Spanish Forum:

"It is impossible for an AyA and a Schilling to be from the same period. Schilling closed in 1926 and AyA began making shotguns in the 1940s. In those more than 20 years in this country many things changed, among them the way of making shotgun

>>A quick Google search and you can read the iconic story of Miguel Aguirre and Nicolas Aranzabal journeying to Barcelona, Spain, to apprentice under German gunmaker Eduardo Schilling—eventually founding Aguirre y Aranzabal in 1915, or we as commonly refer to it, AYA shotguns. The unique nature of this whole story is partly held in Basque culture, a region of Spain that was culturally oppressed for a large portion of the 20th century after the Spanish Revolution ended in 1938. The regional dialect was forbidden and had since faded from the local population, but the food, wine, and other parts of the culture remain strong today.....<<

Too, I am the custodian of a Belgian sidelock with AtA locks from circa 1915 when AyA was founded. Cross sourcing between Gunmaking centres was rampant....

And too this is a superb example of the transfer of technology via >The Walkabout< & if I am not mistaken there was a Loden jacket made just for the occasion.

Even more interesting. Thanks. Always thought it odd that those guys made a model of o/u that looked very German, turns out they love the model for a good reason.
