Description:
Here it is, the "top of the line" AYA O&U 12 gauge in almost perfect condition.  This is my #1 collection of fine Spanish Shotguns.
It rivals any European or American made guns. I have collected guns for over 74 years and many of them have been fine engraved Colt, Winchester and European guns.
 This is the finest engraved gun I have owned. It is in pristine condition - no scratches, dings, cracks, or marks on the wood or metal. At the muzzle end, there is evidence of being fired but the original blue is all there. It has an AYA factory-installed recoil pad. The wood is finely figured walnut. And this beautiful gun was made in 1950! So it has been well cared for. If you check, it takes about 6 months to order a gun of this model, and it would cost about $18,000 US dollars. I understand that these high-end Spanish guns are "laser engraved." In 1950, they didn't what laser engraving was. This gun was entirely hand made. It is choked 18.4 and 17.3. It has a raised ventilated rib with 2 ivory bead sights. The double trigger jas an articulated front trigger
In the SHOTGUNNER'S BOOK, the author, Charles Askins states categorically, that the AYA Model 37 O/U was "the finest over-under shotguns made on the Continent today."  This is a true "sidelock" with a finely hidden door for taking down the lock. The ejectors work fine The sidelocks are engraved in animal scenes and the bottom and top are finely executed scroll patterns

I apologize for the photos, which I made myself. I am 89 and although an avid gun collector, I am a very poor photographer.
Here is your opportunity to own a prized shotgun at a bargain price.

. I will be glad to answer any questions.
I have many more photos to share.
Thanks for looking!
