FalconFN Posted April 12, 2016 Report Share Posted April 12, 2016 My Laurona is stamped T1 which I believe is 1975 so it could be that yours is 1973. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the riceman Posted April 12, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 12, 2016 FalconFN, thanks for the swift reply, have just acquired it and it's bringing back childhood memories of shooting with my dad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FalconFN Posted April 12, 2016 Report Share Posted April 12, 2016 Mine is an O/U DTNE but either trigger can be used the same way as a single trigger (front trigger will fire bottom barrel then top, back trigger will fire top barrel then bottom). It's a great little gun that I got for pennies, I also have a Felix Sarasqueta sxs from the 60's that uses the same date code system. I've found this useful website on Spanish guns that you may find helpful: http://www.shotguns.se/html/spain.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
triumphant59 Posted April 12, 2016 Report Share Posted April 12, 2016 I bought one brand new in 1975 on the recommendation of a local village gunsmith who assured me they were much better made than an AyA! It cost me £105 from Browns of Coningsby Lincs. My brother bought a non ejector around 78 and it was £95, he still owns his. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
