I for one would like to see said note also. Many times, & I suspect Jules Pire & Compangie was doing similar by supplying folks in the Congo w/ flintlocks or the like, a shell compangies was set up for import/export and was little more than a staging area for wares that were made upon the backs of the unsung mechanics in certain gunmaking centres like Liege, Suhl, Zella Sankt Blasii - Mehlis.

Cheers,
