the next to last picture show some fuzzy proof marks that look Spanish

is the left most a shield with a X in it and a knight's helmet over? and another shield on the left


nice ducks

[Thomas L. Benson Sr.]

Rick: That is correct on the first shield but the second shield has a bp with a oblong o in the shield Thomas

Rick: That is correct on the first shield but the second shield has a bp with a oblong o in the shield Thomas

that one is a "prueba suplementaria" a Suplemental or additonal test

the middle one - shotguns crossed with a design in the middle is the "prueba Denfitiva" the final/definative proof

so left to right

Admission or acceptence mark, definative and lastly and an additional - wonder why?

I saw one other well engraving 20 bore Spanish gun a few years ago with no makers name (passed on it, too heavy for my taste), my Spanish gun book is packed away, but I wonder is they had "guild" gun process like other countries.

Yes, it's spanish. Many variations were made, but they all have the same distinguishing features.
