    Default $50 Debt

    I was given this gun last night to settle a very small debt. Fella didn’t know anything about it, but I don’t think I lost anything on the deal.
    From what I’ve read, it’s a 16 ga sxs manufactured by Gaspar Arizaga and produced post 1931.

    Proof mark 3rd from bottom

    From this picture I took last night, I think I can make out an ‘M1’ marking, indicating a date of 1967.

    Proof mark of Eibar Proof House Impressed on all arms
    Voluntary black Powder proof of breech-loading barrels (what’s the 2 for?)
    Compulsory Smokeless Powder proof of breech-loading smoothbore firearms
    Inspection of Ammunition
    During the 1950’s, there wasn’t a huge demand for high end sxs, so Spanish manufactures filled this void with their lower end and lower priced sxs. I know this gun wouldn’t bring much, but do you think it’d be worth getting refurb’d?
