Didn't want to sidetrack the Flintlock thread so posting here...
Don't know much about flintlocks and only a bit more about shotguns but have been under impression some of the finest shotguns in the world have come from Spain. Handful of small companies with limited production whose products command as much as a good pickup truck, lol. Maybe @meketrefe can chime in with more info.
Interesting article here for those who are interested.
Buy Pedersoli
.
Pedersoli is made in Italy, and every firearm they make is as fine as any, ever made.
Do NOT buy Traditions.
Traditions is trash. Made in Spain, and should not be trusted.
Unless you have an Eye or Finger to spare.
Don't be a fool. Part with an extra one or two hundred for quality.

An Official Journal Of The NRA | Spanish Shotguns: Fine Gunmaking in the Eibar Region
When it comes to "best" quality guns, names such as Purdey and Holland & Holland come to mind, but most are not aware that Spain's Eibar region has a long history of fine gunmaking. Today, Spanish makers produce some of the finest "best" quality shotguns in the world.
