Hi,
I am new to the forum and new to hunting. This year I have started waterfowl hunting and I wanted to take my son. I remembered a childhood gun that was kept at our farm and went to see if it would be right for my 12 year old boy. The gun is a , lengerke & Detmold 20 gauge knock about gun. It is marked, Francotte on the flat of the barrel and two of the numbers from the barrel are8983 and 74721. It is in good shape and just the right size for a 12 year old boy. My question is... how old is it, and is it safe to shoot? I would appreciate any insight any of you might have.
Thanks,
Paul
