Eusebio Arizaga




My father in law worked for an airline back in the 50s and 60s and when he went on his honeymoon to Spain, he came back with this gun. I've had it about 15 years and it hasn't been shot in at least 10-years. It has some nice features, its a true sidelock with cocking indicators, gas vents in the receiver, full engraving, intact case colors on the sideplates, ejectors, drop points, splinter fore-end. It seems a tight as the day he brought it home. Its impractical for me, stock is too short plus its a game gun. Arizaga is mentioned in Terry Weiland's book, they were wrapped up in a Spanish gun making conglomerate called DIARM which eventually went out of business. My father in law had good taste in guns, he also had a 20 gauge Browning Superposed, a Belgian A5 and 20 gauge AH Fox.
