The Serial number M6157 is engraved on the breech edge, (the deactivation certificate says M6158, which is likely a typo).

Felix Sarasqueta made good quality utility, mid-grade and some high grade guns. The business was closed circa 1984. There were 4 Sarasqueta firms:
Victor Sarasqueta (later Rifles y Escopetas Especiales), VDA. E Hijos de J.J. Sarasqueta (widow & sons of J.J. Sarasqueta), Felix Sarasqueta y Cia, SA and Adolfo Sarasqueta. J.J. was Victor's brother, Felix was a distant cousin and the relationship of Adolfo is unknown. They are all descendants of Bittor Sarasketa Suinaga (1864-1930) who was a master gunsmith who created and directed one of the largest arms factories in Eibar, in 1906. He was the supplier of arms to the royal family.
