The Story
This pistol was found at an 30 years ago in the small town of Klamath Falls, Oregon.
After some research it was found that Francotte revolvers were ordered and imported by the Federal government
for the use of the calvery mostly in the western theater. While we cannot substantiate 'the
story', it's a good story, none the less.
