Go to the Spanish Shotgun forum and click on the 1st topic, 'Proof Marks/Date Codes, etc.īTW, all Victor Sarasqueta sidelock actions have cocking indicators (I can't think of any sidelock makes that don't). There should be a date code stamped on the watertable of the frame. A 236xxx serial number would indicate a late 1970's production. Your gun but, it appears to be a Model 6 or 6E. I need clear, close-up photos of the engraving pattern to positively I.D. Not sure if the image has loaded correctly.
I would like to know if possible what model and year that it is. It has cocking indicators which I understand were not on all models if that helps with the id. I would describe the engraving as tight scrollwork and although it was originally colour case hardened, most of this has now gone. The serial number is 6 digits beginning with 236. When I first saw it there was virtually no blueing left on the barrels and the woodwork was dented, scratched and in a hell of a mess. I have a VS 12 gauge sidelock which was rescued from the crusher and with some help from a gunmaker who was kind enough to show me the traditional methods for wood renovation along with his work on the hardware has given a new lease of life to something which obviously had a hard working life on a farm.
I've been doing a few searches but failed to find the information I was looking for so please forgive me if this is old news and I was just looking in the wrong place. My 32nd Edition Blue Book only shows Model Numbers for Victor Sarasqueta shotguns.
Victor Sarasqueta The Dave McCracken Memorial Shotgun Forum. Victor Sarasqueta Pre 1930 model and year.
1960's were well into the six digit serial number. Then I believe is a Victor sarasqueta pre 1930 probably.
