Just saw an Arrieta O/U listed over on Guns International. Said it was "New" production. What's up?
It appears that their website is up and running.

I’d highly suggest anyone interested run this notion past John Boyd, at Quality Arms, first. He was not optimistic last I heard.
Best,

I believe WLM in Arizona has a few plus new Arrizabalas on their website- new looks ( Celtic engraving !?$&@)

Yes, they have reopened. New owners. Different quality level of guns or at least that what they are expected to do. They plan to compete with the top Italian guns. Much higher price point too.
I do no think they will be successful in the states

Good luck to them but who will their customers be with that business plan ?
Just what the world needs, another expensive shotgun.
Anytime someone brings back a "new" classic, I am skeptical
Mr. Boyd, what is the price range on those guns? From the lowest model to the highest. I looked over their line and looks like some nice guns. With the economic predictions of today, it doesn't seem like a good time to start a gun business.
I believe they are in the 30s
Trying to compete with high grade Italian guns
Claim to be a higher refined gun than before

There is an Arrieta 12ga O/U on Guns International listed at $70,000 by WL Moore, described as new production in near perfect condition. You can check out the GI listings, I think I saw a price of $49,000 for both a SxS shotgun and a SXS rifle
