Francotte is a weapons manufacturer in Liège, Belgium. It can be traced back to 1805, and is still in operation today.
During the first decades they manufactured various arms for various nations around Europe, among others 1,500 M1849 kammerladers for Norway. Later they concentrated on high-quality, expensive civilian arms.
In 1857, the Principality of Serbia ordered rifles and pistols of percussion cap system for its armed forces.[1] Also, in 1875, Serbia procured 11 mm Francotte M1871 revolvers of double action, similar to a Danish revolver Lefaucheux-Francotte M1865.[2]
