Discover the art, heritage, and legacy behind a rare Anglo-Spanish treasure in this Rose & Scroll feature on a matched pair of Pedro Arrizabalaga Best Sidelocks—crafted in Eibar, Spain and finished in London for legendary gunmaker Paul Roberts.

This isn’t just a story about fine sidelocks. It’s about the intersection of two great traditions: Spanish craftsmanship and British gunroom taste. Built for Roberts himself—engraved “Made for J. Roberts & Son” and numbered in gold—these guns embody everything a Best pair should be: hand-engraved, self-opening, finely stocked, and cased in their original Brady canvas and leather case.

From their Holland & Holland Royal-style mechanics to the bold English rose and scroll engraving, every inch of these guns reflects confidence, elegance, and purpose. In Paul Roberts’ hands, they weren’t just tools. They were a statement.

This digital feature explores the mechanical precision, historical significance, and aesthetic refinement of one of the most complete Anglo-Continental pairs we’ve ever featured.
