Larry -
To me, this gun looks more like a model I've occasionally run across known as the 'High Gun', most of which were made in the 50s or 60s.

I've never seen a 'High Gun' listed in a catalog, but they would appear to be a grade below the traditional 'Knockabout'.

Here is a pic of a ST 'Knockabout': http://www.cabelas.com/cabelas/en/conten...anctble_02l.jpg

FWIW, which is absolutely nothing, from these pictures alone, I'm not 100% convinced Victor's gun was made by 'the' Auguste Francotte & Co.

A true expert, Bob Beach, can undoubtedly enlighten us...
