Description:
*** SOLD *** There are Eagle Grade Francottes and there are very special Eagle Grade Francottes and this one of the latter. Possibly the finest Eagle Grade ever made! Highly figured European walnut stock and elaborate engraving with seventeen gamebirds engraved over tight scroll on the sides and bottom of the frame as well as the trigger guard. And that does not include the Gold Eagle inlaid on the bottom of the frame. The fences are beautifully carved in a bold acanthus pattern and the gun retains most of its original case coloring. This is a special gun that also handles very well. *** This Francotte, serial number 623xx, was made circa 1905 and has double triggers and auto ejectors. It has side clips and a hidden crossbolt third fastener. Gun weight is 6lb 5oz. *** The 28” 12 gauge barrels are chambered for 2-1/2” cartridges and are choked Improved Cylinder and Light Modified. Perfect for game or clays. It has a raised solid hand crosshatched tapered rib *** The highly figured European walnut stock has a swept back pistol grip and splinter forearm. The checkering is crisp and there is a blank gold initial plate on the bottom of the buttstock. Stock dimensions are 14-5/16” over a thin original plastic buttplate by 1-1/4” by 2-1/4”. Slightly cast-off for the righthanded shooter. The bluing on the barrels is in great shape but there are a few minor handling marks on the stock. *** I am an FFL and will need a signed copy of your dealer’s FFL license. Not for sale where prohibited by state or local laws. Buyer is responsible for all shipping, insurance, and any other related charges.
