For what it's worth, I bought for cheap a well used Spanish 12 gauge with lots of engraving, F/and very F. The seller said the case, which was trashed, was worth more than the gun. I spent too much to have the barrels blacked and opened the chokes to open and a little more open. Someone had shot steel thru those half century old tubes and there was a jelly bean sized bulge in one barrel which I had removed. Refinished the stock. Shoots fine now and she is light as a feather. She is actually pretty, if you need glasses and left them home.
I also have a very nice original condition GH F/F and I won't touch the chokes. I use spreaders and hope for the best. But that old Spanish gun is my go to shooter.
