Does the Sarasqueta have game scene engraving or scroll engraving? If it has the game scene, it is the lesser of the two Model 13 Sidelocks, their "Standard" model and is worth about $5,000.00 to $6,000.00. The Sarasqueta Model 13 Deluxe is the exact same basic rifle, but with fine engraving and the finest walnut. It would be worth about $1,000.00 to $1,5000.00 more, all things being equal.

That Sarasqueta 470 NE that has been advertised for a year now started out at $10,000.00. I expect it to sell for around $7,000.00, tops. It is worth more in my opinion, but that is all the market will pay. They were fine rifles. The Deluxe sold for $750.00, and the standard for $450.00 back in the mid 1950s. I believe that the right trigger of the Deluxe was a set trigger, also.

Sarasqueta made rifles and shotguns of excellent quality that were imported for many years by Stoeger; some sold under Stoeger's own mark, Zeypher. These shotguns are still strong on the market when found.

The ONLY thing wrong with a Sarasqueta DR is getting rid of it, should you ever wish to. Alas, it has no snob appeal.
