Model Nº 53<br />
T<br />
he Nº 53 (also known over the years as the 53E and 53B) is one of the oldest<br />
models in the <strong>AYA</strong> catalogue, having been in production since the early 1950s.<br />
Both Jack O’Connor and Col. Charles Askins wrote glowingly about the Model Nº 53,<br />
which O’Connor described as one of the best values to be had in a side-by-side shotgun<br />
anywhere.<br />
The Nº 53 is similar to the Nº 56, in that it employs a Purdey triple-bite and sideclips<br />
for maximum strength. However, it is built on a standard-size frame and is slimmer and<br />
lighter than the Nº 56. It is engraved in a traditional European ribbon-and-floral pattern.<br />
