Hello Nek, Surely Manufrance can tell you more about your very nice Robust. JC

Looks like they're making Robusts again . . . maybe. The text indicates that they're designed and assembled in the Manufrance shop. Suppose the parts, or at least some of them, may be made elsewhere.

There were so many things I liked about the Robust (Costo) that I had. It was a 12 gauge with 27" barrels and yet only weighed 6.5 lbs. It had 2.75" chambers and wasn't fussy about ammo. It had a large trigger guard with enough space between the triggers so I could wear gloves and still shoot it. The stock, while rather plain grained, had very nice fiddleback. It also had enough cast-off that I couldn't hit chit with it! I sold it to another board member several years ago (don't worry jOe I paid Dave) and I'm hoping that it's been a good gun for him.

1931. That's the year with dual grades 26E and 238.
The grades numbering system changed that year.
The 26E cost 1150FF in 1930 or about the same as a cookstove or a sewing machine.
A #6 Ideal cost 2000FF without ejectors.
That's a good one...
