I realize that Francotte is an esteemed maker, but to a fair amount of the fine gun world, Belgium is just a sh$th@le where knock-off fake guns get made and where hillbilly Brownings are from.
For $3299 you can have your ass in the seat of an authentic English boxlock like a westley Richards, a gun that the Belgians were attempting to emulate.
Whatever a Belgian gun is, it must be half the price and 3x the quality of an English equivelant.
A Belgian gun is like a kit car. I might drive an AC cobra kit car, but it better be 1:20th the cost of the real deal, not even money.
