Description MERZ31 FRANCOTTE DOUBLE RIFLE; Hammerless model in caliber 6.5 rimmed. Gun features 4-leaf flip up gold marked rear sight. Very good shootable bores. Wood has original red buttplate that is starting to harden. Double triggers. Action is beautifully engraved with tight floriate engraving typical of Francotte. Receiver retains about 75% case colors.
