Need help with a Francotte 12ga. that is marked #9 spaced by 1/8" in front of the serial # on the trigger housing and has a single selective trigger stamped "MILLER" and ejectors. Was this a factory option? Does it do anything to the value? What does the #9 mean? It also has what looks like ACIER NIMROD stamped on the barrels.

Thanks

Tommy

Tommy,

Acier Nimrod means Nimrod steel. Nimrod steel was advertised as the steel used on the early Knockabout model guns. Higher grades usually were made with a type of Siemen Martin steel. How about posting the complete serial number and some photos of the gun, especially the proof marks on the watertable and the barrel flats.

Far as I know, the Miller trigger is after-market and will likely drop the value a bit. The market is pretty "ouchy" about modifications. Miller triggers are generally a good mod (and can be servied by Turnbull).
