Armas Garbi

Armas Garbi guns are manufactured in Eibar, in the Basque gun making region in the north of Spain. Garbi is a Basque word, which means, "clean" and is an acronym formed from the initials of the names of the firm's founders. "G" is for Guerrena Barrena, in charge of scale adjustments. "A" is for Alday, head of the engravers. "R" is for R. Churruca, who is in charge of assembly and final finish. "B" is for Barrenechea, the general manager of the company. "I" is for Irondo, an expert in adjustments and finishing of stocks. William Larkin Moore & Co. has been importing the fine line of Garbi shotguns since 1975 and we have had excellent success with them.
