Steve:
What is in the oval near the rib on the underside of the left tube? Also is S10 stamped on the water table? I've stumbled upon a few that had similar stamps of the cupped-up ducks. That's what you want to see before you pull the trigger. Anyway, the few that I've seen pointed to another tube maker like Jean Breuil and had Fanget & Co on it also. Seems that Fanget & Co finished the sporting weapon? The Sxx was also a common stamp on the flat & water table(maybe is number was in the 70s). I think the marks note some sort of test to the tubes and/or trademark like the aforementioned Ronchard Cizeron. Two stamps of a cupped-up duck, so 2 separate tests/inspections. They were rolling their own and proofing their own and for some reason another tube maker contributed some effort. I don't think the lifted image of the French boxlock below to be one in the same.


Canon JB & Fanget & Co. stamps along with a brace of Cupped-Up ducks on each flat.


Subject French sporting weapon.

Kind Regards,
