Default Francotte
Stunning piece of Belgium craftsmanship. I own one Francotte 20 and a Deforney 16 (7 pin side lock) that is a beautiful balanced gun. I hunted doves and blue quail in NM. It is 2 3/4 ". I think it is late 40's gun. Did anyone notice how fine the checkering is on your gun!! I'm not a stock maker but I venture to say 28 LPI or 30 LPI. Great work they did along with the old standby "Browning." Thanks for showing
