Description:
Auguste Francotte made guns to order, and with its unique swamped rib and lighter than normal 5.13lb weight, this gorgeous 12b Francotte appears to be a special-order gun for the European market. Overall, it is in near excellent condition, save for faded case colors and some barely visible ripples from dent removal about ¾ down the inside of each barrel. No dents or dings visible on outside. The 27" barrels have been expertly re-blacked with new silver bead. Bores are excellent, choked im/f. The stunning deep relief oak leaf engraving really stands out, along with the engraved fences. I've shot the gun at trap and it shoots great and is excellent mechanically, tight and on face, no issues or surprises. Wood is likewise in excellent shape with no cracks internally or externally to original butt plate. Open to reasonable offers or possible part trade for light straight grip 16 sxs.
FFL/C&R required, $50 UPS ground shipping to lower 48, and any applicable sales tax, AK and HI extra.
