I'm afraid the seller described it as guild gun by mistake. It is not a guild gun. It's a high grade gun by Pondevaux of St. Etienne. St. Etienne was a major center of arms manufacture, and was in fact the location of the main French government arsenal. I have found examples of percussion & pinfire guns by Pondevaux on the Internet. The firm was at one point also called "Pondevaux et Jussey."
