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.
