An elegant and finely executed 12 gauge Holland & Holland–style sidelock by respected Spanish maker
Eusebio Arizaga, built for the noted English firm
J. Roberts & Son of Sussex. Eusebio Arizaga was a recognized gunmaker based in Placencia de las Armas (Placencia), Guipúzcoa, within Spain’s historic Basque gunmaking region. He was known for producing high-quality side-by-side shotguns in the English tradition, combining Spanish craftsmanship with classic London styling. This example reflects that heritage beautifully.
The gun features 27" chopper-lump barrels with 2¾" chambers and excellent, bright bores. Chokes measure .004/.020 (approximately Skeet/Modified), providing refined versatility in the upland field. The barrels are well-struck, and the gun locks up tight and on face. Extractor configuration. The sidelock action is tastefully adorned with bold, well-executed acanthus scroll engraving, enhanced by strong, vivid case colors that complement the classic profile. Refined details include a rolled-edge trigger guard and articulated front trigger, hallmarks of higher-grade workmanship. The firing pins are removable, and the fore-end is fitted with a traditional push-rod release.
The stock is crafted from beautifully figured European walnut, carefully shaped for both elegance and handling. Dimensions are:
- 1½" drop at comb
- 2" drop at heel
- 14 7/8" length of pull
There is slight cast-off for a right-handed shooter. Weighing a lively 7 lbs 3 oz, the gun balances and carries as a proper English-style bird gun should—quick to the shoulder and smooth through the swing.
A refined, high-quality sidelock that embodies the tradition of the Basque makers and the elegance of the London best—graceful in appearance, confident in the hand, and ready for a lifetime in the field.
