AYA
A SCARCE COMPOSED PAIR OF 12-BORE "SENIOR" MODEL SELF-OPENING SINGLE TRIGGER SIDELOCK EJECTOR GUNS, NOS. 578604/580810
28-inch chopper-lump barrels with 2 3/4-inch chambers about improved cylinder and 1/4 choke borings, the frames, locks and gold numbered top levers with fine bouquet and scroll engraving, gold lined cocking indicators, 14 1/2-inch well figured stocks, 6lb. 7oz., nitro proof, in their maker's lightweight leather case
The "Senior" (Premier) was AYA's very best model and is built on the Purdey Beesley self-opening action and is modelled very closely on the guns built by that famous London maker. It is thought that as few as 40 of these guns were produced.
A.S.I. confirms that the guns were sent back to Spain in 1990 for conversion to single triggers, re-stocking and matching as a pair. The guns appear relatively little used. |
