CHOKE: MOD (TOP), ICYL (BOTTOM). CHAMBER: 2 3/4" . LOP: 14 1/4". MANUFACTURED: 1968. This Italian-made Luigi Franchi Falconet Deluxe 20-gauge over-under field shotgun was manufactured in Brescia, Italy, in 1968, as verified by its "XXIV" Italian proof house date code. Designed as a premium upland hunting firearm, it features a lightweight aluminum alloy break-action receiver finished in a black anodized tone. The frame is adorned with detailed roll-engraved game scenes, showcasing a flushing pheasant on the left side and a grouse on the right side, both framed by traditional scrollwork borders. The shotgun is equipped with blued steel vertically stacked barrels featuring a ventilated top rib, fixed chokes, a single selective trigger, and a tang-mounted safety. It is completed with a checkered European walnut pistol-grip stock and a matching slim field forend, making it an exceptionally nimble, highly collectible vintage firearm weighing approximately six pounds. CONDITION: Very Good. 98%. The wood stock has a few handling / storage marks/wear. The bore is bright and smooth. It appears to have been shot very little, if at all, post factory.
