I believe that this was marketed as the VL&D "Knockaround" or "Knockabout" gun, I can't remember which term they used. They went to Francotte boxlock in the early part of the last century, as it was the replacement for the Sauer model 1900 (sidelock) which they had marketed under that name up until that time...


I prefer wood to plastic, leather to nylon, waxed cotton to Gore-Tex, and split bamboo to graphite.
