Barrels and forearm are numbered to gun. The receiver has a scroll engraving and is marked "A. FRANCOTTE MAKER & PATENTEE LIEGE BELGIUM" on the sides. Trigger guard is also scroll engraved, double triggers and tang safety. Nicely figured beaver tail forearm and pistol grip stock with checkering on the forearm and grip area, checkered flats with carved border and solid recoil pad. Length of pull is 14 3/4 inches.

Rating Definition:

Very fine as refinished. The barrels retain 99% of the blue finish with a small spot of gray on the left barrel towards the breech. The receiver retains 95% of the case colors. The wood is also excellent with a few minor handling marks and a few blemishes in the overall crisp checkering. Action needs work as right trigger will not cock.
