 this is what my Friend told me about it:
Franchi collectors or collectors of special runs or just the .22 nuts. Franchi semi-auto .22lr. Franchi made a .22 one year only - 1968 -to commemorate their 100th anniversary. Tube fed through the butt stock - loads through the right side of the butt stock, similar to the Browning auto 22. Grooved fore end. Ramp rear sight and hooded front sight. Marked on the left side of receiver - Franchi, Made in Italy. Right side of receiver has silver colored badge which says, Franchi 1868-1968, 100th Anniversary.
In 2008 - 09 according to my Old Gun Buyers books were selling between $300 to $400 depending on condition, IMHO now they should probably run about $500 in MINT condition..................
