The United Kingdom importers of A.Y.A. guns, A.S.I., have kindly confirmed that no more than thirty Augusta grade guns have been made to date. This is the highest grade A.Y.A. available and the guns built to this standard are usually only built to special order or for exhibition purposes. Gun No. 452923 was completed in 1974 and appears to have been very little used. The original Eibar proof certificate will be made available to the buyer of the lot
