I cant open your link .But . It should be possible to obtain a lock from Spain in the white ,but the amount of work to fit and finish it then engrave it , would almost certainly outstrip the guns value . Finding another gun that can be canalised could be a solution but finding one of the correct age and engraving pattern may be next to impossible . Returning the gun To AyA in Spain would be an uneconomic proposition. Sorry to say it but unless you can get some detectorist/s to go out and look for it tracing your path ( A reward may induce a few takers ) I think you have to face the fact you now have a scrap gun . Insurance ?

Can depend on the dent ,its depth and whether its a sharp dent or a dished dent . The age , specific wood and the finish can all have effects . Steaming is your first option .

It will not have been sent back to " the factory" .It may have been sent back to the importer who will have sent it to some one to look at it ,but thats all .The cost of shipping would be prohibitive . Some years ago I did warrantee work for an importer of some Turkish made guns .There was an on going problem for which I suggested the guns should be returned to the makers .I as told it was cheaper to replace the guns and scrap the rest rather than sending them back . At this stage you should be demanding a replacement gun or a full refund .Please remember the dealer is a middle man but he should be on your side and expediate the matter asap.

First off its not an ejector its an extractor gun . Yes if you open the action with enough force then it may throw the case clear . If its been boxed up since new then the wood could have " moved "as in swollen or shrunk .If it needs easing off then its not a big job as with the stock which probobly needs the stock bolt pulling up . Using it without these things correcting could lead to future problems .

Not saying this is the case but I would check out the RFD to make sure he is legitimate .There are a few " part time working from home " RFD's who dont always follow the letter of the law .

A replacement mag tube must be securely fixed with a suitable adhesive . A crimped tube would need to be certificated by the proof house to satisfy most authorities . Doing yourself providing the original mag tube can be removed without doing damage is a possibility . But please remember you are dealing with Police Firearm's officers who are not always the most receptive or sensible of people .

Look to be very similar to the Doctor red dot .Have fitted these to double rifles and a colleague on the continent said he was taking scopes off and fitting these . They are great for moving game such a boar , esspesially if your eye sight is like mine , you see the sight or you see the target, depending on your glasses . I se no reason what so ever to fit one to a shotgun unless you are shooting solid slugs, apart from a method of parting money from people who would be better served spending it with a good instructor and gun fitting .

Nothing wrong .Its exactly as you describe . The way they are designed to work . -
Le Faucheux style action possibly French as proof at that time was optional. This type of action was used by numerous continental makers up to the late 19c. Pin fire by the looks so I would date it pre 1870.

Take into account all the military / police/ production , pistols as well as shotguns .Those made under the Beretta name and those made under other names ,Franchi for example and the numbers add up .

Sight picture is full of the left side of barrels.

So its gun fit then ? -
Any that fits you .Its all down to the shooter .The greats like Percy Stanbury ( I've handled his gun) and Joe Wheatear shot with 28" , no multi chokes , adjustable combs stick on high ribs ,florescent bead sights or other gadgets .No need for beavertail forends or pistol grips unless thats what you like . Just buy a gun in as good original condition as you can find that you like . Only one point I would make, is that a gun chambered for 2&3/4" will be an advantage , being easier to get cartridges at a clay ground
