WHO WE ARE
Welcome to the Friends of the Centaure Society (FROCS). This website is for collectors and gun enthusiasts who are interested in the"Belgian Colt" and want to learn more about the European brother to the Hartford Colt 1860.
Wolf tells me we now have data on more than 600 Centaures !!
Our newest FROCS in the US Ferrasm1 tells us:
"About 30 years ago I purchased a .44 black powder pistol from a friend of mine. I assumed at the time that it was just a cheap Italian copy of a Colt. I shot it a dozen or so times and put it away. Other than to wipe it down with a silicone cloth every now and then it hasn't been used since. Several days ago I noticed, during it's wipe down, that it was actually made in Belgium. Realizing that it was not a Italian copy I decided to research it a bit which has led me to you."Below is that pistol. What do you have hidding in your closet? There may be a Centaure in there. If there is let us hear from you.
