I picked up a Luigi Franchi O/U with double triggers awhile back and finally decided to figure out what I had. I just thought there would be mounds of info on a company that's been around for 150 years. That doesn't seem to be the case. The gun predates the Italian numerical date codes that started in 1945 and I doubt there were any made during the war. So that means it was probably made in the 1930's. I can't find one bit of info or even a comparable model in any of my normal venues.
Any thoughts on why there is so little info on older Franchi's ?
