From the late 1860s forward to the turn of the Century I cannot find one listing where Verney - Carron Freres received an award for tubes. But there were other Frenchman who did:

Bernard (L.), Paris, rue Villejust 12, Canons d armes feu

Javelle-Magand, Saint tienne(Loire) -Canons doubles pour fusils de chasse

Martel-Chaleyer Saint tienne(Loire) -Canons pour armes feu

Massardier-Poulet Saint Etienne(Loire)- Canons pour fusils de chasse

Ronchard-Siauve Saint tienne(Loire)- Canons pour armes feu

Bernard(A.) Paris, avenue de Lamothe Piquet, 16, Canons pour armes feu

Clair frres, Saint tienne(Loire)- Canons de fusils

Verney Junior was in charge of the satellite shop in Lyon and later circa 1900 Charles Jeandet was listed as the successor.

Kind Regards,
