Notice the writing on the barrel says FRANCOTTE'S ARMS.
So many guns, so little time!

Back to Vols gun, My thinking is that whoever owned the Francotte name in the 50s and 60s decided to make a few bucks and had a bunch of guns made up by someone in the trade. I have one like his with less engraving and it has no relationship to the prewar guns sold by the company.
Jim A. Yep Jim. I was thinking that pre-war Francottes are to the gun in the auction as pre-war Sauers are to the communist era stuff.
My problem lies in reconciling my gross habits with my net income.
