John

I have one exactly like it!

I will tell you that I own about 20 Remington clones and a few originals. OF the clones I own the finish, fit and overall quality of the EN Santa Barbara's is the best......

Buy it!

Much like Bresica is to Italy or Hartford to USA

It is Spain's Armory below is the Hand engraved model they made.
I guess they quit making them 20 something years ago.  :-\
Plain Box model like that one was not bad , the engraved model were quite nice in Fit & Finish.
If you can win it for anywhere close to the Starting price ...you will have done good.
when planets align...do the deal !

I have one in the 09xx serial number range. It came ex factory with drift adjustable front sight and oiled grips. Contrary to the Italian clones the Spanish Remmies all seem to sport chamber dias adjusted to the rifling bore dia.
This one was the best performing Remington NMA type pistol in our recent torture test on C&B Armies and their conversions as published in CC.

I picked up this engraved E.N. Santa Barbara NMA for $160 earlier this summer.

Shoots well, and the hammer is much easier to reach than on my Pietta 58.

Seems very well made to me.

Very nice indeed . . . . !  :)
Beware the man with one gun, he probably knows how to use it.
