Husqvarna is a large Swedish manufacturer. They made firearms for over 100 years. They produced a good quality shotgun that was affordable for the average Swedish hunter. The better grades are hard to come by in this country. They made some very nice engraved sidelocks. You may spend a long time looking. Some have gone to the trouble of importing these guns from Sweden.
There are a few dealers that have a stock of Husqvarna guns.
You can try:

Also:
http://www.kebcollc.com/ Although their website does not show any at the moment. Give them a call. I have dealt with them and found them to be honest.
Also check on GunsAmerica. There seem to be a number of dealers there with a large supply of Husqvarna shotguns. Be prepared to see a lot of Lefaucheux actions.
A couple of websites with some information.
