I've seen the phrase "Fni par Houllier Blanchard ŕ Paris" many times but I am unsure of the meaning of "Fni"?

Finished. Or Fini (Fni) in French; Essentially it was either assembled or marketed/retailed by.

Oh, and Houllier-Blanchard was a manufacturer/retailer of guns and cartridges.

Many thanks I was just unsure why it was abbreviated by two consonants followed by a vowel or Fni. Just seemed odd.

If anyone has interest, one pushes the hammer, for want of a better term, or cocking lever, forward to the battery/cocked position.
