This AYA No. 1 12 Gauge side-by-side is a true best-grade Spanish sidelock—hand-detachable locks, scroll/bouquet engraving, cocking indicators, and gold-inlaid “SAFE” deliver refined London-style quality in a nimble 6 lb 10 oz package. The shorter 26" barrels and straight-grip stock make it exceptionally fast and pointable for upland hunting, walked-up grouse/woodcock/quail, or tight cover work.
26" barrels with fixed Modified and Improved Cylinder chokes provide balanced patterning for field loads. Double triggers and auto ejectors function crisply with tang safety. Checkered walnut straight grip stock features nicely figured wood, carved teardrops, and a blank oval initial plate in the toe line—classic, instinctive fit.

Excellent condition: vivid finishes and detailed engraving, bright bores, tight lockup with only minimal light handling marks from very light use. Mechanically flawless—smooth, reliable AYA craftsmanship. A superb AYA No. 1 in outstanding original condition—best sidelock performance, lightweight, and ideal for the field or collection.
