The action is an original Francotte, all matching #s in the 1xxx range, and it's commercial all the way. The little side boss where the cocking indicator mounts is INTEGRAL with the trigger guard unit, not an add-on. The polished surface on the outside of the action is old but impeccably flat. I've seen a lotta Cadets but this is the only one like this I've ever even heard about. It's definitely a curiousity and IMO well worth the effort to make it into something even more special!
