Speaking of the old and new in the SAME model of Spanish guns; I have a higher grade Uggie made in 1969. The engraving is much better executed than in the same model today which also has a bit less engraving if one looks close.
I've noticed the same in other Spanish makers cutting back a wee bit in engraving on new vs. the old same model.
Another example is the Grulla 215. Look at the quality of engraving on the ones that Dakin imported in the 50s compared to the 215s of today.
