What can you tell me about victor sarasqueta?
Victor Sarasqueta was a Spanish gunmaker known for producing quality shotguns and rifles in the early to mid-20th century. Sarasqueta firearms are valued for their craftsmanship and reliability, with some models highly sought after by collectors today. The company ceased production in the late 20th century, but its legacy lives on in the high regard for its firearms.
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

What rounds of Elephant ammunition are common across Africa?
Elephants have been traditionally hunted with bolt action rifles, most of which were either military or derived from military designs, or with purpose-made African game rifles such as high-end double rifles from manufacturers such as Holland & Holland.Common military calibers from the colonial times in Africa were 7mm Mauser (7x57) and .303 British. Hunters today no longer favor those and generally use the larger calibers made just for hunting.Common specialty hunting calibers are 9.3x64, .375 H&H Magnum, .404 Jeffery, .416 Rigby, .450 Nitro Express, .458 Winchester Magnum, .458 Lott, .460 Weatherby Magnum, .470 Nitro Express and .500 Nitro Express. .600 Nitro Express and .700 Nitro Express are also not unheard of.Poachers not concerned with ethics of hunting may use any of the myriad surplus military arms floating around Africa from the many conflicts. This can literally be any caliber from 7.62x54 to .308 to 8mm Lebel.
