Rabbit,
I had just said on another thread, that lead to this thread..copied and pasted below...
Over the years, I've tried to acquire the best example of one of these thoroughbreds I could afford to...currently I have a double proofed Rouchoux with a wrist circumference of 4 inches in 16ga...that's less that 1.3 inches in diameter...L' Abielle (Paris) sold some of the best examples but I believe they were actually produced in Belgium

I knew this one is Belgian, but other collectors claim to have them made by St Etienne artisans...I haven't handled one yet, but I have no reason to doubt their assessment of the proofs and touchmarks ...I've seen L'Abeille catalogs around over the years...all from Paris...so apparently they are alot like Gastienne Renette in that they obviously sold guns produced in Belguim (by Cordy), yet some collectors claim to have GR guns actually produced by GR...
Hey Larry...did you notice that I misspelled Rouchouse as well? Does that mean I due another lesson in manners?
