Union Armera Model 215 Sidelock Double Ejectorgun
serial #UA13202, 12 ga, 28'' barrels choked improved modified and full with remnants of circumferential tool marks from honing or boring still present at the muzzles and stubborn streaks of wad residue in the bright excellent bores. The barrels retain about 98-99% original blue with some scattered freckling here and there and a light handling mark or two; the face of the muzzles shows a touch of oxidation staining. The case-hardened frame retains about 97% vivid case color with the edges of the frame belly toning lightly to silver and spots toning to straw, the frame, lever, and triggerguard decorated with tight floral and scroll engraving, rosettes dotted about, and ''UNION ARMERA S. L. EIBAR'' engraved in riband on each lockplate and the belly; the lockplate pins are nicely finished in gold, as are numerous small parts internally. The checkered straight grip walnut stock and splinter-style forend are in very good plus to near excellent condition with some light wear and small spots of flaking of the gloss finish on the butt, and a few scattered minor handling marks, and feature a blued forend tip insert, engraved in the same motif as the frame, a sling swivel on the toeline paired with another on the underrib, and a 14 1/2'' length of pull to the checkered butt with drops of about 1 3/8'' and 2 3/16''. The shotgun locks up tight and on-face with the lever coming to rest just right of center, and features double triggers, an automatic safety, robust ejectors, gold cocking indicators, 2 3/4'' chambers, is sighted with a lone ivory bead, and appears to function well mechanically. Included is a factory beige luggage-style case with green felt interior, in overall excellent condition showing only light wear on the leather reinforcements at the corners and the handle, as well as a pair of snap caps, an oil bottle, bore brushes, and a three-piece hardwood cleaning rod. A lovely Spanish double for the shotgunning enthusiast. (11739-55) {MODERN} (2000/4000)
