My gun is marked "Francotte Arms" on the Barrel and has the AF under a crown proof mark on the water table. It does not have the Francotte Choke Bore on the water table. It is a recent European import. The Serial number puts it about 1936. The Gun is sweet and looks super. Just want to document it a little. It has the Belgium proof marks and Liege on the barrel. No model is listed. Any help would be appreciated.
