I had a mint Francotte Knockabout that I sold to Steve Barnett a couple of years before he passed. The one that Stan posted doesn't look like my old gun, but similar. It was a great gun but too high a condition for me to carry in the field. I had to load 1/2 ounce loads for it to be comfortable to shoot. I would rather shoot my six pound Parker 28s, which are very comfortable to shoot with 3/4 ounce loads. If I were looking for a Brit 28, I would go for a Webley and Scott Model 728. I still have pictures of the wonderful Purdey paradox 28 that I didn't bid high enough on at an Alderfer's auction a few years back. I would be embarrassed to tell you how much it sold for after I got cold feet. I wish I had a second chance.
