FRANCOTTE a LIEGE" and N ° 1 and N ° 2 on the barrel, no corrosion very beautiful stocks with its original varnish some small scratches but insignificant in view of age, they each have their original wooden stick with brass tip, Imposing caliber 18mm and yet these 2 weapons are surprisingly light It has a rather curious and rare system with lever under guard, by pushing the trigger guard you arm the striker which withdraws into its housing to be able to put the fulminate pellet on the chimney, so no visible hammer. The total length 1m23, they both have a silver pellet under the butt, the mechanisms work and very good percussion, smooth and clean barrels. These two guns are really in their juice no sanding or polishing, the barrels still have their tan turning slightly brown.
