They are no longer made, supply is drying up fast and the quality cannot be duplicated at 2x the price.

Before spending $5000 USD on an entry level Garbi it might be wise to look at these two guns:

Mateo Mendicute, Purdey Grade, 1700 Euro (1948 gun):

Victor Sarasqueta, Hispania, Model 208, two barrel set, 3000 Euro (1974 gun):

Both guns have been restored by a master gun maker to like new. They are in a shop in Barcelona, so add about another $400 to the price of either gun for export, import, and shipping fees. At an exchange rate of 1.3 dollars to the Euro, total cost (USD) of the Mendicute would be around $2600. The Sarasqueta would total about $4300.

If a fellow wants to spend 5K USD on a Spanish shotgun there are a lot of attractive alternatives to a Garbi 100.
