L'atelier V-C--probably best translated as their custom shop--used to be Demas. V-C bought them out and made them their high-end operation. Unfortunately, pretty sure that V-C isn't making any sxs outside their atelier operation, which is too bad. But they do make a bunch of OU's and provide barrels to other companies as well. There was a time when V-C made a wide range of sxs, including some very nice lower grade, less expensive guns.
One of my all-time favorite gun ads comes from the 1922 V-C catalog. Full page photo of Captain Rene Fonck, surviving ace of aces of both sides in WWI (70-some planes to his credit), with the following inscription:
"I am very pleased with your Verney-Carron Helice Grip shotgun. The birds drop like Krauts!"
