Well, that's all they had back then was magazines and newspapers to promote and to inform people of what was taking place in the shooting sports.

So what we have here is the Lebeau brothers building a gun that was not recognized or used by anyone until Ferdinand Courally invested in the firm and promoted the Lebeau gun to a point where royalty such as the Czar of Russia took notice and started buying them. Which, of course, promoted the Lebeau Courally gun into 'Best' status throughout the world. Am I correct?
