Mr. Beach-

Thank you very much for the info. Very interesting info.

Were 26" bbls standard on these Featherweight guns?

And how many Francotte's are in the G&H records - hundreds?



LB-

I think you can buff or polish an action, pick up the engraving, and then tone it all down to a muted, grey look. I'm not certain, though.

OWD,

Between 1901 and 1967 there were more than 5,500 new and used Francottes listed in the VL&D and A&F records. I still have a few years left to index. All of the serial numbers indexed to date are on the Research page of the G&H web site.

Just click on "Francotte" or any other make that you wish to see.

Most of the Featherweight guns were 26 inch but a fair number were 28 inch. I'm at the point where I'm beginning to measure these statistics and hope to publish findings in the next year or two.
