I've long felt that these Francotte guns are an exceptional value in today's market - for the quality, it's impossible to find a better hand built more durable gun. And this one in 20ga!
Overall the gun remains in pleasing original condition with more than 90% original barrel blue. Side plates and action retain about 1/2 of their original color with the balance a pleasing toned gray. Stocks are sound and retain about 90% original finish with only minor handling marks. Buttplate is very good as seen in the photos. Case is fine with minor rubs.
Included with the gun are several pages of fascinating research from Griffin and Howe researcher Bob Beach on the history of this gun as sold by Abercrombie and Fitch.
