The Pedro Gorosabel 12 Gauge is a traditional Spanish side-by-side shotgun manufactured in Eibar, Spain, a region internationally renowned for its long history of sporting-gun production. Built in the classic European double-gun style, this shotgun combines straightforward mechanical construction with the traditional handling and appearance associated with Spanish sporting shotguns of the period.
This shotgun is chambered in 12 gauge with 2¾" chambers and carries an 18.5 mm bore marking. The shotgun is marked “GOROSABEL” on the barrel, while the “P.G.” marking identifies Pedro Gorosabel as the manufacturer. Its T1 Spanish proof-date code indicates proof in 1975, placing the gun firmly within the established post-war period of Eibar shotgun production.
Pedro Gorosabel was one of a number of gunmakers operating from Eibar and produced sporting shotguns for both the Spanish domestic and international export markets. Gorosabel guns can be encountered in a variety of grades and configurations, making the original markings particularly important when identifying individual examples.
