I own an AYA #2 20 gauge, like it very much. I would love a #1!

Aya No. 1
I searched a long time for a 410/28ga no.1 combo set. I understand they are hand engraved and thought I wanted one. Never found it. I did buy a Arrietta 410/28 model 803 7 pin side lock with self-openers. Both barrels are 28" long, DT-SG-SF, full coverage fine scroll hand engraved Spanish best gun. It gives me pleasure to own since a real English made gun like it is out of the question. I have no pictures that I can find so later on I will try to find time to load some. Snow and ice removal has become my full-time job here at my home and gun shop! SXS Ohio

Before investing in a AYA, take a look at this book. He advocates for the century of British guns up to about 1980. Very interesting, entertaining reading.

That looks like a neat book, gonna have to get that. As far as aYa, yeah, very nice guns and I've always wanted one. Could kick myself for not grabbing them when 12's were going for two grand and smaller bores for not much more. Hindsight sucks sometimes.

I own 3 of Diggory's books and they are great books. Besides the one Clark is showing I own his book on box locks and his book on hammer guns. Visit his website as well:

I bought a #2 28" .410 while they were not $8000. It's a great little gun. Looks like a Purdey and a hundred grand lower in price.
