Good evening all. I’m now the proud owner of this vintage external hammer folding shotgun and would appreciate some help in further identifying and dating it.
dainty little thing- weighs 4lb.



It has Eibar proof marks (found online) and is stamped:
“Made in Spain”. (In English)
And ‘guaranteed for smokeless powder’ (in Spanish.)
850kg. (Proofed to?)
316. (?)
HG. (The gunsmith?)
And has a small stamp that says 12/50 or 12X50. (I assume this is mm? There is no reference to calibre otherwise.
Any thoughts? Thanks!
Dave
