Francisco Sarriugarte made complete guns to just about every price point, from a plain working mans box lock right up to a heavily decorated side lock for the landed gentry. The value of any given FS gun depends on the gun. The triggers arent gold plated; what you are seeing is heat straw.
Here is a FS box lock thats a little off the wall:

Well, this post tied up all the loose ends of this thread except one**. The gun Kyrie posted a link to is almost the twin sister to what I have minus the gold inlay and the engraving on the one here is a floral pattern.
**The loose end that I will tie up now is that I just purchased this well made shotgun and it is now sitting in my gunroom anxiously awaiting pheasant season. This winter the stock will be refinished with a new buttplate.
Thanks for all the help guys. It was greatly appreciated. J.R.B. jerb
