More on Manufrance (Manufacture Francaise des Cycles et Armes). Oh man, Larry Brown will take me to task on the gender of an adjective or something but I'm taking the risk anyway. Like Iver Johnson a bicycle as well as gun fabricator. Produced more conventional double called the "Robust". Easy to spot as the barrels always look as if they've had a crude sleeving job. And for those who think the French are always facing the wrong direction, there is LeFaucheux who came up with the "velly Bwitish" break action gun. Then I suppose he laid around waiting for the Brits to eat his lunch, which they of course did.
