I think I would buy that gun. It is one nice Francotte.

Such a long, long time to be gone, and a short time to be there.

So, I am looking at a Griffin & Howe Arrieta online, which seems to be reasonably priced and in decent condition, except that the hand detachable thumb screw does not seem to be properly indexed. Newlyn1, Do you have a link your willing to share? I'd like to see it.

Ok, maybe just the link showed up, but I think it will work for you.

Link works OK. Hand-detach lever could be over-tightened . . .or maybe under-tightened and just needs a little nudge.

I'm not a sidelock expert, but it doesn't take much force to index a screw thru that short arc with a lever. If there is any spring in the sidelock plate, it may have just been slightly over tightened and needs to be backed off. If it is a big concern, it would probably make a good thread question by itself and get a number of the smiths to comment. I'd be curious in their response and it may put your mind at ease.
Doesn't look like there is any carry wear in front of the trigger guard in that pic. Like you, the round body is my preference.

We would need to see a pic of the right side of the action with the thumb lever left in this exact same position to see the protrusion of the pin on the right side to determine if it's over or under tightened. At this point, I don't see an issue at all--just needs to be either backed off a smidgen or given 7/8 of a turn to tighten it.
