It weighs a scant 5.5lbs and feels more svelte than any 28 ga. I have handled.

The gun was made in 1943 by Union Armas (later Grulla) - interestingly, AyA made the locks. It was SEAM's top model and has all the Spanish "best" gun attributes: hidden third bite, bolstered action, gold washed lock parts, jeweled internals, drop points, diamond grip, full coverage engraving (the catalog calls it "aleman" (German) but it looks more Belgian to my eye.

The chokes are IM and XF - they are pretty effective on clay targets but may not work so well for grouse and woodcock. The gun came with its original maker's case and accessories.

Here are some photos:




You also may have noted the automatic ejectors and articulated triggers, and the notation of best grade steel (Yo tambien hablan Espanol, Sr.) however, the earlier Spanish made shotguns (escopetas, si como no?) did not always have the best heat treating techniques-- have you test fired it yet? I also agree that the engraving is not quite the heavy incised style one sometimes finds on Merkel and Sauer guns-- More of the Liege style following WW2 and there freedom from the Nazi's control--El Zorro
