I'm interested in developing a case label for my Azhur Side by side Detachable Sidelock 12-bore shotgun.

Quote:

Azhur

AZHUR ARMAS, S.A..

They were formerly named ASCENCIO ZABALA.

Azhur may mean bright. If the word relates to Ashar.

"Azhar"
Shining, Luminous, Brilliant
Meaning. Shining, Luminous, Brilliant. Region of origin. Arabia.

I've always assumed Azhur related to Azure, Blue. Maybe a Blue-Silver.

I think a bright silvery star might make a nice Azhur case label symbol. The words, Azhur. AZHUR ARMAS, S.A.. ASCENCIO ZABALA.

What was the Spanish address of Ascencio Zabala?

SEE THE AZHUR SHOTGUN THREAD FOR THE CASE LABEL DISCUSSION RATHER THAN DUPLICATING EVERYTHING HERE.

Wonderfully detailed catalogue cover-page (?), or letterhead perhaps, for Charles Boswell included with an article on that maker in Dig's Vintage Gun Journal of 2nd August 2022. It could form the basis for a marvelous trade label!

View the article here.

If I were to case the delightful 16-bore fully engraved damascus BLE awaiting restoration in my gunsafe, such a label would be a very nice touch indeed!

Looks like Diggory has included a series on Gun Case Labels in the Journal. Certainly worth perusing...
