This gun is a pistol of shooting known as “of stand” of caliber .22 only studied for this use as its long barrel indicates it to increase the precision. It is with eight sides with elevated back sight and bead out of V seems it adjustable.
The trigger guard is with puts back finger and the stick in drowning squared carries a rounded blocking the hand, these two elements ensuring a good catch in hand.
The system is with top break type J. LECLERCQ with the button of opening placed on the left of the frame (seen so well on the photographs)
The marking of manufacturer A.FRANCOTTE in Liege is typical of this well-known manufacturer in Liege.
