OP DaveB Sidelock Joined: Jan 2002 Posts: 126 Likes: 13 Mentor, Ohio	I have just won an auction for a VL&D Francotte. It is a 20 gauge, side plated box lock ejector. The gun was proved in 1934 according to the proof code "m" on the flats. I was hoping someone could help identify what model this gun is. I assume it is a number 20 or 25 quality, but I don't see any marking as such on the gun. I have attached a few photos for reference. Any insights would be greatly appreciated.
