Dear Sirs,

Thank you for taking the time to read this post and for all your thoughts and your replies.

Marc, I am going to forward the information regarding the Christophe. As far a records goes, Spain is in the same boat. Arrieta is the only company that seems to have kept good records. AyA has some records. The rest, nada, nothing, zero, zip. The Proof House in Eibar is as we say in Spanish "una vergenza" --i.e. embarrassingly pitiful.

Gunman, I like your theory. It makes sense since the gun does have V.S. barrels.

Larry, I am waiting patiently for more pics.

2holer, that seems the likely explanation.

The poster who put up the picture of the Christophe or Bury still claims it is a Bury and added this photo:

The engraving seems to match...
