I was fooled by my old eyes looking at the * over the AH, which I though looked the same as the AF under the crown that was on the verified Francotte. It was only when I put on the magnifier and put a very strong light on the flat part that it was clear that the marking was not what I thought it was.
I appreciate your coments about the value of a guild gun. The pitting is on the inside. I don't have equipment that will allow me to take a picture of it, but I certainly will make potential buyers aware of it in my ad.
The big question: after looking at several dealers' gun lists, a nice grade 'shooter' should be fairly marketable. Would $850 - $1,000 be the right price neighborhood for this gun (based on the pictures)?
