FWIW-- I believe the late shotgun writer, Michael McIntosh, owned and shot an AYA 20 or perhaps it was a 28 gauge, as did the late grouse hunter, George B. Evans. The late Ernest Hemingway was fond of Spain, and also Spanish shotguns, and ordered several for his friends as gifts: Idaho rancher Bud Purdy, and biographer A.E. Hotchner, possibly others. I would glady accept one (or a matched pair) as a gift, yet today-- sidelock pls, DT, AE, much like a Purdey at a fraction of the cost--
