Most interesting fellas, especially the site WildCattle. If either of you take what looks to be the locks or sideplates off the frame, I'd like to see an image.

I've been chasing C. Modé for some time and now additional information is known. I think he may have earlier origins?

On July 25th, 1914 the name changes to C. Mode from House Lefaucheux( Louis Henri Rieger with Peter Laffiteau ) and Maison E. Lefaucheux Chevalier and Dru successors?
Kind Regards,
