I have not seen Hef's Francotte.
I have seen pics of Clapton's guns and I am not surprised that he is selling the ones with his image.
I have never shot or wanted a Darne but to each his own.
The older I get the more satasfied I am with my meager battery of Spanish guns for hunting.

Charlins are very elegant and nicely machined in the lowest grades. Particularly nice with a straight hand stock as that attenuated pg knob on Darnes looks strange to American eyes.

Well I guess if you liked the looks of one of these Darne's it would fit into the trunk of your favorite car. Jim

The guy also has post-war Fransisque Darne models confused with Darne models. Easy thing to do, if you have seen an F. Darne catalog, and don't read French. Best, Ted

BrentD I am in the same boat with you. I'm warming to these guns that I used to almost hate. I can feel that they are slowly getting there hooks in me. Regarding Clapton's guns, those guns didn't do a darn thing for me. I'd have sold them if I was him too.

The neighbor who owned it had a really unusual string of profanities she'd let go with every time she'd try to start the thing. Jim

Nothing good ever came out of France, apart from their Letters.

I had one for a while, not particularly lovely, but I shot it pretty well. I let Wes Dillon at Cabelas talk me out of it on some devious deal. I'd like to have another one. I sort of like a good "Pub Lunch" (in the right pub)
