I have to agree and add my two cents. The last increase killed the Spanish gun market I believe. I have owned several Spanish guns, Grulla (which I had several made for me), Arietta, AYA and Garbi over the years. All were nice guns, some better than others.
I can remember when an AYA #2 was around 3K. Now it is up to over 5K and if you want longer barrels that is an increase in price.
If I am going to pay close to 10K for a side by side I would prefer a English sidelock.
