Does anyone know the top 3 sidelock guns made by Franchi.

I know they made a grade called the Condor. I thought they made an Imperial that was one step up, or their best gun. I thought there was another one, too.

I'm talking sidelock SxSs. I think these guns were up to, and maybe throught, the 1950s.

Thanks

Condor

Fairly rare birds:
Imperial
Imperiales ?
Imperial Monte Carlo, No. 5, No. 11 & Extra

They were still making the high end Monte Carlo's into the eighties maybe 90's on orders only.

There was one more, less know then those you mention, it was the "Littorio"

A lot of those were available only in Europe.

Have you any information on the "Aquilia" ?, which was an early hammer gun?

Fifties and early sixties Stoeger catalogs offered the Imperial.

I am afraid I can't help you. Are you sure about the name of the gun?
Marc.

I had a 20 bore Condor here and a friend owns two Montecarlo Motecarlo Extra 1 in 20 and 1 in 12.........nice guns, both from the 60's
I think Beretta is now making the Montecarlo Imperiale,...cuesta muchos Euros!!
