Not a Parker but...

8 Attachment(s)

A very nice old gun and I wanted to share it with you. It is a FRANCOTTE model 45E 12ga. I bought the gun from a 81 year old woman whose husband purchased the gun for her at Kerr’s Sporting Goods in Beverly Hills in 1970. She had not fired it in the 50 years she owned it. The gun was imported by VL&D in 1920 and is in amazing condition. It is 6 1/2# with 26” barrels choked IC&F, original 2 5/8” chambers.

My best shooting is done with a 26” IC/F double trigger gun. This is an awesome Francotte, Dave!!!
