Todd it is a piece of junk send it to me and I will dispose of it for you. Seriously I have a Francotte ejector forend that might work on it, just the metal. Contact me if you want to try it for fit.

It may have maker's marks on the water tables. Clearer pictures would be neccesary to identify those marks. Many similar guns are in fact made by Francotte and could benefit from Francotte parts. More pictures please.

That is most likely a pretty classy gun. It can be fixed. It will not be cheap to fix most likely. Unless the guy wants to spend some money, he will probably want to sell it to someone who knows how and is willing to fix it.

I LOVE this guns engraving pattern, it reminds me alot of the "new" Watson Bros. house engraving style they scratch on their beautiful and elegant round body SLE. This is a nice gun, but like the rocketman said....it can be fixed..it will be expensive, I am thinking maybe forend metal that is in the white from either Spain (most likely) or Italy could be shaped, fitted and finished to work with this gun. I shiver at the thought of this job though, the cost would be somewhere in the $1500 to $2500 price range (new wood, new metal, all the time fitting and shaping..and then finishing)

Quite possibly a considerable savings might be realized by ignoring the ejectors & simply fitting it up as an extractor, just a thought.

Another negative with this gun, it comes with apparently original 25" BBL's. That would be a deal killer for me.
I suggested that he find a gunsmith that was looking for a project gun, and take whatever he can get.

I saw a Parker DHE forend (iron and wood) on a Linder Daily. The fit was right, the function was right, but the checkering and tip sure looked strange to me. I doubt if many people noticed it.
