Hello
My name is Terry Mair from Utah, I have been reading several of the threads, a lot of info here.
I found me an Auguste Francotte shotgun, I love it, until Saturday I had never even herd of this maker, but it seams to be a tight little gun.
Here is a link to photos of it:
http://mairdutchovenlifter.com/Shotgun/I am wondering if anyone could give me any information on the gun, date of manufacture, what kind of steel it is made of, (I know it is not any of the twist type barrels, but don't know if it is something like Krupp, or extruded or what) and even tho I do not want to sell it what kind of value does it have, other than I love the thing
On the photos of the Barrels what looks like bare metal is reflection, and finger prints, yes I fondle it...a lot!, it does have some ware on the muzzle ends, and one little spot on the left hand barrel on the bottom like it has been in a rack or something.
Edited to add: the serial number is: 64745 and that number is on every part of the gun.
Thanks Terry
