Afternoon Gents,
I was wondering if anyone out there has any knowledge on Auguste Francotte & Co. Single Barrel Shotguns. I recently bought an old wall hanger at a local gun show with the only intention of it being an interior decoration. In the mean time I figured it would be fun to do a little digging to see where this old thing came from. Its not in the greatest shape and the only real markings I have seen one it is the AF&CO seal on the buttplate and 'New Long Range' on the side of the receiver. There looks to be some type of serial number on the other side but its kinda hard to make out. Anyone know where I can find some literature one these? Ive found a decent amount on the fancy double barrels but no so much on the plane jane singles. I just want to know roughly what year it was made and a little history of it, I know its not worth too much.
Basics (I will add to these later when I have it in my hand)
Type: Long gun - Single barrel shotgun
Action: Brake barrel, hammer fired
Caliber: 12ga
Manufacture: Auguste Francotte & Co.
Model: ?
Barrel Length: (Will measure tonight)
Condition: Ridden hard and put away wet. Although the action still seems to cycle just fine.
Any insight would be appreciated.
Thanks much!
Jimbo
