Nice looking gun oskar, nice lines. It looks like someone gave it the mirror finish look, but it doesn't look as if anything uncorrectable (if you desire) was done to it. I like it!

It has the abrupt "step", rather than a taper, between the chambers and the fretted barrels. Also seen on most Manufrance Robusts. Guess Manufrance liked to name models based on strength. Costo (costaud, French spelling) means essentially the same thing as Robust.

That is an Ideal style body, I can't tell from the photos, does it have a "rising bite" like the Ideals ?

I think the action is nickel plated and was originally shinny. I don't know if you would call it a "rising bite" but it does have a third fastener that comes out of the back of the slot in the action and engages a notch in the barrel extension.
After the first shot the rest are just noise.

That was what I was trying to say.
I haven't seen a Manufrance like that in 3D, only in catalog reprints.

Very nice Oskar. Looks like it has the solid action, without the barrel lumps coming through the bottom. Nice!! When you have a chance, could you post a photo of the barrel flats and close ups of anywhere there is product names. Would like to see the similarity/differences to regular MF Robust-Ideal.
