[QUOTE="Ckgworks, post: 1773360, member: 105102"] Sadly I don't have any really cool field pictures like you guys do, but here goes.....maybe someone will know more about this one and can fill in some holes for me. It's a Zabala Hermanos, Imported by Richland arms. Most of the Zabalas that reached our shores, were pretty much basic field tools, either box lock, or box lock with side plates......mixed opinions on them, but the ones I have and have handled have been decent work horses. I can not find any info where Richland imported a true 7 pin side lock like this one, and the wood and checkering is a much higher grade than the others I've touched. Also, the engraving appears to me under a magnifying glass to be hand done.....not sure if my pictures will show up on the close ups......what say you guys? Someone looked at it and guess late 60's, but I really can't back that up. In any event, it's a very nice handling and pointing shotgun!
