The Auguste Francotte Project

Will do. The basement is under construction now. The wife had an idea which led to redoing 4 rooms. Currently working on my shrimp room to get it back up and running at full capacity because im down 4 tanks. My largest tanks have been sold off to make room.

Mmmmm fresh shrimp. I'm getting hungry.
 
Back to the project in hand.

Snagged this Francotte catalogue image from the wilds of the internet but have not found the source of it since. The upper gun is basically my gun except in pinfire action. Interesting that the Lefaucheaux actions are priced here at quite a lower price than the "English action" below.

I asked Google to translate
" Fusils doubles Lefaucheux A Broche
Bascule double cle, devand adherant, toutes pieces fer, detentes charniers
Canon damas anglais fin, platines 3 piliers, grande cle filet, gravure anglais, tremps mate et jaspee"


According to the robot it says:
Lefaucheux Pinfire Double Shotguns
Double-action action, slick forend, all iron parts, hinged triggers
Fine English Damascus barrel, 3-pillar locks, large threaded key, English engraving, matte and case-hardened finish
