Help me ID my shotgun please!

[krizia829]

Hey guys! I have an over/under shotgun that my grandfather gifted me about 10 years ago. I’ve only shot it a handful of times and is in great condition. To my understanding, it’s not really a high end model but I can’t seem to find exactly what model it is. It’s a Felix Sarasketa 12GA. Fixed choke barrels (no threads). Does not eject the shells. I have to pull them out by hand. Below are photos of the markings on the gun but I have no information other than the manufacturer and that it’s from Spain and likely from the 80’s. Any information is appreciated! If you know where I can find an online booklet or something with information, that would be appreciated as well! Thanks!

You are correct that you have a Spanish made gun from the 80s.

They sold for +/- $300, in 80s money, IIRC.

Shoot it and enjoy it!

Good lookin shotgun!
I have an old Brazilian made 20ga that is choked like that. It has 2 triggers. I have had it since the late 80s...no telling how old it was when I got it. Shoots real good.

Thank you! I love this one. Kicks like crazy but it shoots nice! I love these old school guns. I wish I can get it threaded to take chokes but our local gunsmith says the wall on the barrels are too thin
