The solid concave matted rib barrels are equipped with a brass front bead. The right barrel is marked "ABERCROMBIE & FITCH CO.

The shotgun features a tight English scroll engraving on the boxlock action with side plates, sideclips, auto tang safety, double under-lugs and Greener cross-bolt. The left side plate is marked "A.F. FRANCOTTE MAKER AND PATENTER LIEGE BELGIUM". The right side plate is unmarked, has only the engraving.

Rating Definition:

Excellent. The barrels retains 95% plus original blue finish with some slight spotting. 90% case colors remain on the action with a sharp engraving. The trigger guard is mostly absent of blue. The stock is very fine with some minor handling marks and a ding on the forearm near the tip. A very rare Abercrombie & Fitch/Francotte made before 1962.
