I am trying to help out a friend find some information on a Knockabout Gun by Von Lengerke & Detmold Francotte 16 guage 26 inch barrels side by side. The right side plate says Von Lengerke & Detmold.

It was given to him by a close friend who is now deceased. The gun is missing the forehand and he has tried to locate one with no success. Do any of you know what the availability of parts are for these guns? Thanks in advance for any help.
I read another post here about these guns and saw some pictures of a forehand and he says that it looks like it could be the right one but has no idea where to start looking.

A serial number and pictures will help us get started. Yours is not an impossible project if you give enough information.

Dave, I have an Francotte ejector forend with no wood in my parts stash, it is for a 12ga I think. It might work on your gun if you want to give it a try. My email is in my profile, use the gmail one. Your photos show that your gun is an ejector gun.


I learn something every day, and a lot of times it's that what I learned the day before was wrong
