Bob's been very helpful to me as well. Recently acquired a nice little Francotte Knockabout 20ga ejector gun from Mark Beasland. A&F import from the 50's. Bob provided very interesting information on the gun, sale price etc, plus a lot on the original owner whose initials are on the shield. And he also explained to me an anomaly in Francotte serial numbers. Mine is 4 digit, which does not fit with any Francotte SN lists I've seen. Turns out that Francotte started a new series (at 1000) in the mid-50's for guns imported by A&F.
