Made in Spain, the Model 56 is a higher graded sporting gun that represents an extraordinary value in today's gun market. It is without doubt a high grade gun that is well made and finished.

The 26-1/2" barrels have a narrow game rib with makers name on tops and a steel front bead. The straight grip buttstock is checkered in a two point pattern through the wrist with tear drops carved behind action and terminates in a very pretty checkered butt.

Tops of fences are beaded. The semi-beaver tail forend is checkered in a point pattern with Deeley release that is nicely scroll engraved. CONDITION: Excellent and very lightly field used. The gun retains nearly all original finish to both wood and metal. Barrels with more than 95% original blue. The stocks are mostly sound and retain nearly all of their original finish with only minor handling marks and a couple of light impressions. There is a tiny grain separation on the bottom right stock finger and a tiny splinter behind the top tang. Bores are brilliant and shiny. Mechanics are crisp. A nice high grade gun that is a great value in today's market! JSL
