@ the turn of the century
HSB & Co. was known for producing double barrel side-by-side (SxS) shotguns primarily in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. While specific production years can vary, their shotguns were commonly made from the 1870s through the 1930s. The exact timeline may depend on the specific model and production records.
The O/U is made by Fausti in Italy and the SxS is made in Spain.
Yes there are. I have seen one of them recently. It carried a marking indicating that it was made in Spain. I had never seen one before.
$500-$600, depending on condition, barrels, etc. Very pretty shotguns
SxS = S2
AYA, out of Spain, made some SXS shotguns with Revel on the receivers. I own one in .410 and it was a very beautifully made double barrel. It has hand select walnut wood and waqs finely finished.
