The distinguished A<br />

1 double barrel Precision<br />

Barrels of demi-<br />

bloc or "chopper<br />

lug"construction-each<br />

barrel blank forged from<br />

a single billet with the half-<br />

lug integral and the two finally<br />

and permanently'joined.<br />

Now you can know the pride of owning a fine double barrel shotgun-and at<br />

a realistic price! Consider the convenience of owning a superbly balanced<br />

double gun-two guns in one: the instantaneous choice of two chokes.. .two<br />

well aimed shots without confusion or double effort. . .fast, easy loading.. .<br />

the complete safety of full visual inspection when the gun is open. Then<br />

consider the DOUBLE BARREL DAKIN. The guns you see here, advertised in the<br />

United States for the first time, were personally selected for manufacture<br />

under their own name by Richard Y. Dakin, mechanical engineer, and Roger<br />

B. Dakin, who with over 60 years of shooting experience between them, can<br />

well be said to know their guns. Gaspar Arizaga and Union Armera S. L., the<br />

two firms who make these guns specially for the American market, were<br />

chosen for the perfection of their work only after a number of trips to Spain<br />

by Richard Dakin, and a full year of analysis of Spanish guns and their<br />

makers. It is their belief that you can't get a better double barrel shotgun<br />

than the Oakin no matter what price you are prepared to pay. Every DAKIN<br />

is built in Eibar, Spain, one of the great gunmaking centers of the world.<br />

Here acknowledged masters of the craft are still practicing their art in the<br />

old painstaking tradition, making weapons of superb balance, speed of re-<br />

loading, "self-pointing" qualities.. . and sheer beauty. The fit of metal to<br />

metal and wood to metal is nothing short of perfection. Every gun in the<br />

DAKIN line-from standard field model to ultra luxury model-is the top<br />

value in its class today. Each is fully proofed, with individual certificate<br />

supplied by the Spanish government for modern loads, including the new<br />

standard length "Magnum." Registry-warranty certificates are issued with all<br />

OAKIN guns. Workmanship and parts are guaranteed for a year. Service and<br />

parts are always available through the DAKIN Service Department,-even though<br />

you are not likely to need them during your lifetime-or your son's lifetime.<br />

COMPARE THE DOUBLE BARREL DAKIN with any other double barrel gun-<br />

even with those selling for two and three times the DAKIN price. Compare<br />

for fit and finish.. . balance.. . accuracy. . .safety. . . dependability . . .<br />

precision hand craftsmanship in every mechanical detail. Note the beauty of<br />

design; the good taste of the handsome engraving. You'll want to buy a DAKIN!<br />
