Description:
SOLD **  ARRIETA MODEL 802 Consecutive Numbers Pair 20 Ga. Sidelock Ejector (identical to H&H Royal) -- Brand New

BEST GUNS:
Ordered as a Pair, ARRIETA’s MODEL 802’s are hand-made Best Guns built as identical clones to the much more costly H&H Royal model.  The number 802 indicates the engraving is the identical H&H Acanthus scroll pattern which makes these copies exact clones of the Royal (engraving executed by a Master engraver). 

Besides the engraving, the basic model is a true clone as well: with H & H pattern 7-pin sidelocks, H&H hand detachable locks, gold-lined cocking indicators, intercepting safety sears, bushed strikers, traditional double triggers (articulated front trigger), gas escape valves, auto-safety, H & H selective Southgate ejectors, chopper lump barrels… and down to every last H&H detail with their H & H Assisted Opening.

And you can find some authentic original H&H Royals without bushed strikers – not here these guns have them just like the latest H&H Royals.

Their 28” nitro-proved barrels are chrome-lined with 2 ¾” chambers, with solid English concave game ribs and are choked Improved Cylinder (R) and Improved Modified (L), perfect live bird guns and perfect for sporting clays.

The receiver is coin finished and contrasts nicely with the deep blue barrels and other blue parts and the best-quality Turkish walnut stocks.

Like H&H Royals, the stocks are shaped in the traditional English straight hand grips with drop points and splinter forends with Anson push-button forearm releases set in engraved inlaid forearm tip escutcheons. The hand checkering is 24 lpi with double borders in point pattern with wrap around checkering.

Dimensions are 14 1/2” LOP to hand-checkered butts, 1 3/8” DAC, 2”DAH with 1/8” cast offs for the right hand shooter and each weigh 6 lb 6 oz.

Condition:
These guns are unfired, brand new with no marks and have consecutive serial numbers. They are cased in a factory trunk presentation case with nickel accessories.

Price: $21,750.00  

Eibar Spain Guns:
Avelino Arrieta and his sons have stood out as premier gun makers located in the Eibar region of Spain, the mecca of Spanish gun makers. In this Basque country of northern Spain, Eibar gun makers have become world famous for the best value in “Best Gun” quality sidelock actions for side-by-side shotguns.  In the last three decades, even London gun makers are carrying lines of Eibar guns. (It has been recently reported that Arrieta is the Eibar maker selected by both William Powel and Churchill to build 90% of their guns behind the scenes for quality and cost control.)

While Arrieta makes many models, any model number 600 and above is a Best Gun and all are
internally a copy of the Holland & Holland Royal. The different model numbers in this group just indicates the pattern of the engraving..e.g. 801 (Churchill), 802 (Holland & Holland Royal), 803 (Purdey engraving), etc.

And there are no better Eibar-made guns.  This includes the top of the line Grulla RL Supreme, Garbi Armes 103B, and the recently discontinued Arrizabalaga, although all three of those guns are or were priced much higher.
