452b264 Report post Posted September 19, 2020 Correct, its a 38 cal. It needs about $100 in parts at the most to bring it back to life. I found a supplier and a very good video on disassembly/ reassembly. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gunit Report post Posted September 19, 2020 The gun is a FRANCOTTE imported and sold by Abercrombie & Fitch. It is a model 45 the highest grade they imported, made in 1920. I shot it today at Eurasian doves. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cactusjack's Uncle had one of these stolen from his shop last year so keep your eyes open. Not real common. 1867 Werndl Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Boarman03 Report post Posted September 20, 2020 The firing pin runs through the rotating cylinder. Pretty cool to look at the engineering. Austria-Hungarian 1867 - 1888. Roughly 680,000 made but you don't run across them frequently. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The rolling block lasted longer than the Springfield in different calibers. Instead of rolling back, it rolled side ways. But the hammer and firing pin were very similar to the Springfield trap doors. Was a time of innovation and fighting around the world. PM me and I'll take it to you to see.
