Hello to all of you experts. I am hopeful that you can give me some information on my gun, Victor Sarasqueta, Yankee Zephyr.
It was a gift from my Dad to my Mom. It is in beautiful condition, my dad was a real gun lover and hunter.
Anyway, any ideas on where I begin and sources to check out would be greatly appreciated.
Kathleen

    I'm at work on linch so I don't have my books with me...sorry! However, this is a Spanish made shotgun. the quality on such guns runs all the way from abysmal to some of the best made guns on the planet! If memory serves me correctly, the Sarasqueta falls somewhere in the middle of that range. It would likely depend heavily on the quality of the wood, amount of engraving, type of barrels/choke and of course the guage. The smaller the guage generally the higher the value (28 guage more desireable than 12 etc). If no one else posts back I would go to Borders or some other book store and check the Blue Book of Gun Values or similar publication after gleaning as much info off the piece in question to get a ballpark figure. I will check the post later to see if someone else looked it up for you. Also, if you could, write back with some of the info I mentioned and the other guys will no doubt help you out better than I can!

    Balderson being out of print, look for it at www.bookfinder.com or other used book search. It can be had. Most recent edition was about 1996 so things will have changed some.
