Gerry,

It is a fine, well made gun. I see no evidence that it is a "fake". But then I am not trying to sell it as a Francotte.

What I do see is that a Francotte patent was used according to the stamp on the barrels.

I have seen some top line Belgian makers, well marked, being sold as "guild guns". I chalk it up to the lack of knowledge by some.

The barrels have the all the correct Falla marks. Take a look at the images on Littlegun.

Judge the gun, not the name.
