Description Terms of Sale
Item Description: Translate description
serial #18585, 12 ga (2 3/4''), 26'' damascus barrels choked improved cylinder and full with mostly bright very good bores showing a few small raised dings, a few in the right bore a bit more noticeable about 4'' back from muzzle. The barrels are mostly a pleasant mix of deep blue-gray and gunmetal patina showing scattered areas of cleaned light pitting and retaining attractive swirling damascus patterns throughout. The undersides show strong ''NOT FOR BALL'' stamps, antique Belgian proof mark and ''(Crown) / AF'' August Francotte stamps. The action and lockplates are mostly a smoky gray case-hardened patina showing a few sparse oxidation speckles, areas of bright silvery patina and a few wisps of colors lurking about the protected areas. They are also embellished with tasteful light filigree scrollwork throughout and both lockplates are neatly maker-marked. The triggerguard and top lever retain about 90% restored rust blue. The checkered walnut buttstock and splinter forend remain in about very good plus condition as cleaned and refinished showing a couple of thin slivers and minor drying cracks here and there. The wrist appears to have been thinned slightly and the stock is a bit cast-off. Length-of-pull to the 3/4'' solid red rubber Decelerator pad is 14 1/4'' with drops of 1 3/4'' and 2 5/8''. Weight is about 5 1/2 lbs., the arm is sighted with a generous ivory bead front sight and the barrels lock up well, slightly off-face and exhibiting a hint of lateral play with top lever resting about center. Lock-up is by dual under-bites and Greener crossbolt and the locks with rebounding hammers seem to function well mechanically. An honest antique Francotte double hammergun. (13A12054-1) {ANTIQUE} (700/900)
