I humbly think you got it wrong on both count Ted (even though you got me going in the right direction),
it is "galbee" with an accent aigu on the first e.
I's an adjective not a person's name and is pronounced sort of "galbay".
"crosse galbe'e"
Check your dictionnary.

Was pronounced that way, and spelled out to me, by Paul Bruchet. Confirmed by Wes Gilpin. Never had any reason to doubt either of them.
As to Larry thinking it isn't much different than a straight stock, I can pretty much assure you if an American orders a straight stock, and you give him what is on my R10, you will be restocking, or, giving him his money back. Americans seem to like their straight stocks straight as an arrow. I like it, but, it is way more popular in Europe, than here.
Best,
Ted
