When was victor sarasqueta shotguns produced?

The firm of Victor Sarasqueta was founded in 1883 and received a Royal Warrant as a purveyor to the King of Spain in 1902. The firm concentrated primarily on side by side double shotguns of British design. Boxlock guns of Anson & Deely pattern and sidelock guns of Holland & Holland pattern were produced. Don Victor's firm also built a sidelock action over & under shotgun which appears similar to the British Woodward action. The company also produced SxS double rifles in African calibers for dangerous game. A single barrel sidelock action trapgun was offered during the 1950's. Following World War 2, many Eibar based gunmakers, including Victor Sarasqueta, engaged in volume production of guns which were built to a price required by North American importers and major sporting goods retailers. Throughout its history, the firm continued to produce higher quality bespoke guns according to a client's personal specifications for weight, stock dimensions, barrel length, choke, rib type, etc. The top of the line Models 12E and 206E featured elaborate deep chisled engraving on the frame and breech end of the barrels. Other models featured traditional Churchill, Holland or Purdey engraving patterns. The 1970's and 80's saw a major downturn in business for Spanish gunmakers. During this time, Victor Sarasqueta, S.A. was reorganized as Victor Sarasqueta Rifles y Escopetas Especiales, S.A. A number of models were discontinued and the production range was reduced to two boxlock models and eight sidelock shotgun and three sidelock double rifle models. In the mid-1980's, the firm became part of the ill-fated Diarm group which tried to consolidate several Spanish gunmaking firms into one company. The Diarm firm closed their doors in the late 1980's ending a chapter in Spanish gunmaking. The Victor Sarasqueta firm should not be confused with the firms of J.J. Sarasqueta or Felix Sarasqueta, both of which survived the 1980's. VS7E

Period of operation of arms maker J.J. Sarasqueta of Eibar Spain?

It is my understanding that J.J. Sarasqueta remains in business ( address: P.O. Box 46, 20600 Eibar, Guipuzcoa, Spain Fax: 943 20 83 46 ). They produce a range of moderate priced SxS shotguns. Their top of the line SxS had deep relief engraving of the sidelocks, frame and breech end of the barrels apparently copied from the higher quality Victor Sarasqueta Model 12 and 206E. The Victor Sarasqueta firm went out of business during the 1980's along with the Diarm group. It appears that J.J. Sarasqueta acquired the rights to produce a sidelock O/U design (with coil mainsprings) from the Saraugarte firm when the latter firm reorganized to become Keman, S.A.. Keman now produces high end Boss actioned O/U's which many claim to be the equal of Perazzi. Most J.J. Sarasqueta products were field grade SxS's. They did, however, produce a Model 150T SxS Trap grade with a vent rib and O/U sidelock Trap and Skeet grades based on the Saraugarte design. AYA also offered what appeared to be an identical O/U design, not to be confused with AYA's earlier Models Coral boxlock O/U, 37 and Augusta sidelock O/U's. Hope this info helps. VS7E
