Eibar Spain 1932-2010. Decent reputation as shooters. 0 -
"Hnos" is the Spanish abbreviation for Hermanos/Brothers. The Zabala Brothers were the manufacturers of the shotgun. They are still in business according to my Blue Book. And have exported many different shotguns over the years, to the U.S. Eagle Arms, from NY, isn't listed in my BB. So it must be one of the smaller importers/distributors from years ago.
Eibar is a city in North Western Spain. It has been the the gunmaking capital of Spain, for hundreds of years.
One of the Spanish proof marks on the gun will be a coded date, in a alphanumeric format.0 -

For accurate identification and valuation of the shotgun we need quality close-up photos.
The Spanish manufacturers, made a whole range of shotguns. From inexpensive utility guns. To semi-custom very expensive models.
Many of the Spanish shotguns are found on the auction(s). As they were imported and sold in quantity, from the 50's to the 90's. If you can't provide photos. Check out the actual selling prices. To get a ball park value for the one your inquiring about.0
