Hi Unregistered,

On July 29th, this site will be moving..! No, really - it's "moving" to another physical location - including servers, gateways, routers - everything - including my coffee cup...

So, from the date of July 29th through July 30 or 31 (shooting for these dates, but - as always, I'm at the mercy of my ISP who has to install the lines to the new location - and we actually get them running ;) ). But - this site, cloud servers and main web will be OFF LINE.

Now, please save these dates!! Please - don't be "that guy" who emails me on the 30th to tell me you "can't open the Parker Website". I'll already know it is offline - and also know that you are "that guy"...

I'll take this notice up and down over the next week or so - and leave it up during the final few days before shutting it off on the 29th..

John D.

She thought it was a Parker

My wife bought me a side by side double shot gun at an estate sale last week. She thought that it was a Parker (at a glance maybe a bit) similar to the one I have, a 1905 CHE. But when I looked at it I found that it was an Auguste Francotte. Unlike a Parker, I found researching this gun is confusing.
I am looking for information on how to identify this gun or someone who has experience with them. An interesting side note; it has a 20" Damascus barrel, if someone cut it down they did a great job, even has the bead. Also it has sling attachment rings.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
