If you're serious about wanting someone to help you then you're gonna hafta give more info than that. You don't even say if it's a single barrel, double barrel, bolt action, pump or what. You can't possibly expect us to guess.

Get the gun, a photo is best but at least a description to include action type and there are surely more markings than that on it.

it is a single shot my dad who has the gun now thinks it might be a savage or stevens possibly i will get a pic after i get the stock back from repair and get the barrel put back on to help out with the identification i couldn't find much info on the barrel except for the eib-xxxx thanks i will get back to you all with pick asap

Eibar is in Spain. The best I can figure you have a cheap Spanisn import typical of the period. No brand name associated with it. Quality was almost universally poor on the Spanish guns of the period. Unless it definitely exudes quality I'd assume it to be in that category and put it on the wall as a souvenier not a user. That's what I've done with my grand dad's old JC Higgins pump gun.

i am getting a few things done to it but it really is nothing more than sentimentel value i am sure it is capable of shooting but it has not been shot in a long time but it will stay in the family.
