They were made by Ugartechea in Spain, not one of the bottom shelf manufacturers, they were only imported here, with the lone exception of one order of 43 that went to an Australian mining company as a bonus one year. They typically will fetch up $300 in excellent condition. My father had one which I in turn now have, it still puts at least one bird in the freezer every season, and for the record I've never seen my father miss with that gun.
