Bob and I are friends and shoot together. He lives about a half hour from me. I emailed him the serial number but I doubt it went through the companies he has records for. He has not gotten back to me yet.
This is an ejector gun and has a gold band between the short rib and the main rib. The chart below says it is medium quality and 1896. I love the engraving on the balls and the bottom including the trigger guard and lower tang. The side engraving is similar to almost all the Francotte guns I have seen.
