FIELD GUNS. 
When, 15 years ago, we introduced the light weight, short barrel 12 gauge Featlier- 
weight Francotte Guns, most hard practical field shooters who were lugging their 8 
or 9 pound guns when following their bird-dogs, shook their heads and very mu:h doubted that 
anything like the same bag could be made with these "grasshopper" or "mosquito" guns as 
with their heavy old-fashioned guns. 
When, however, one of these full -choked little guns made highest percentage of pattern and 
penetration in gun trial where most of the leading guns competed and when others were winning 
highest honors at the trap — then, publ c opinion began to change. Since then thousands of ouj- 
Francotte and Knockabout Quns have gone into the hands of leading sportsmen. 
FRA^fCOTTE A'ko KJfOCKABOUT GUXS have always kept well ahead 
of all competition as regards shape and model, strength coupled with light weight, shooting and 
wearing quality, fit and finish, and the ownership of either make of gun is a te^timcn-al as to a 
sportsman's standing. .
