Description:
AyA Model #1 .410 Gauge SxS Shotgun
AS NEW, BEST GUN FEATURES
General Specs: AyA, Year 1981, .410 Gauge, 5lbs 7oz, Side by Side
Serial Number: 541793
From the : The AYA Nº 1 has been the flagship of the AYA line since its introduction in the late 1950s. Modelled closely on the classic Holland & Holland-style sidelock, the Nº 1 has every hallmark of the traditional English-style double: Purdey-type double underlugs, chopper-lump barrels, detachable locks, articulated front trigger. The Nº 1 is engraved in classic Purdey-style rose-and-scroll, and is stocked in fancy-grade walnut.
Looking at the details on this gun it does have the features of a "BEST GUN", ie drop points on stock, checkered butt, diamond grip, stocked to the fences, gold washed internals, beaded fences, rolled edge on trigger guard, and the features listed above. This gun, sn541,793 built around 1981, is in excellent "as new" condition and shows little use. These are hard to find guns and this one is priced to sell. Would make a fantastic quail and woodcock gun for this fall, so make sure you don't miss out!
