Description:
Boxlocks - This dainty and rare 28g. from Francotte was imported and entered in the Books of Von Lengerke & Detmold in March 8th 1910 as found in research done by Bob Beach of Griffen & Howe. See in the photo\'s a copy of Bob\'s letter which is very interesting as it states that only two 28g. of this grade were imported. How rare is that? Great dimensions and light this gun is a sweetheart. The stock could be lengthend up to 14 3/4" if a 1" or less leather covered pad was installed.
*Note this gun was built with auto ejectors and at some point in its history the owner chose to remove them so it is a simple extractor gun now. I understand this as an upland bird hunter as I really dislike ejectors when bird hunting as they throw the shells on the ground and then you have to pick them up as no one should litter. *** Note: To see this gun with high resolution photos and a zoom-in feature, go to the vintagedoubles main site and search for the gun ID: 3677 or browse the main site to see our full gun collection.
