I don't have any data on that, but I would venture to believe that Pirlet was acquired after Lefaucheux-Rieger, and maybe during WWI, when sales of sporting arms had to be non-existant, and therefore when a sporting gunshop was not valuable.
The Mode records shows that the Lefaucheux house was closed by military order in 1914, likely for the duration of the war.
