Re: New (old) double shotgun

By the markings you described, I don't think it is that old. Likely made in the past few decades. Also, 20ga made for modern pressures. That's what I'd guess, but I don't have the gun in front of me. Google "Spanish proof marks" and see what you can find. If you determine the gun not to be...
