Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
Hailing from the world-famous gunmaking district of Eibar in the Basque Country of northern Spain, vintage Spanish side-by-side shotguns are universally celebrated for offering classic European craftmanship and hand-engraved beauty at an accessible value. Importing fine Spanish sporting arms to the American market during the mid-20th century, EIG brought traditional Boxlock double guns into the hands of avid bird hunters. Built with classic dual triggers, extractors, robust lockup, and hand-chased game scene engraving, these Eibar-built 16 gauge shotguns remain highly sought-after upland hunting companions.
This exact double gun, serial number 46795, was manufactured in Eibar, Spain in 1961 (proven by the "G1" Spanish proof date code). Chambered in the quick-handling 16 Gauge with 2 3/4" chambers, it features 27.5-inch blued barrels choked Modified and Full, a matted solid sighting rib, coin-finished receiver adorned with hand-engraved pointer dogs and scrollwork, double triggers, automatic tang safety, and a checkered European walnut stock fitted with a splinter forend and rubber recoil pad. Presenting in very good vintage condition overall with clean barrel bluing, sharp frame engraving, tight action lockup, mirror-bright bores, and crisp triggers, this 1961 EIG Eibar 16 Gauge SxS is a charming addition for upland game hunters, Spanish double gun enthusiasts, or C&R shotgun collectors.
Return Policy:
We gladly offer a 3-day unfired inspection policy from the time that the firearm is delivered to your FFL. Refunds are available for all qualifying orders.
