The Franchi Monte Carlo is not seen here often for two reasons. There were not many built and those that own them hold on tightly.
I was fortunately able to buy one a few years ago and think it at the top, along with the Lindner Diamonds, as my finest gun.
The fitting is outstanding, the Belgian influenced bouquet and scroll engraving is tops and the overall feel of the gun is as good as it gets.
Wish I were not in the position of having only safe queens.
Best,
John
