I visited GR in Paris during 2001-02, shortly before they closed. We discussed the sourcing of their guns and they confirmed that current SLE's came from both from Granger and their own shop in the basement. They, as did many trade names, sourced as needed (time, money, talent, request by customer, etch.) over the years.

The above gun looks very Liege-ish to my eyes. That is no bad thing, either. I'd guess GR bought it in in-the-white and finished it up in their shop.

If the new owner is interested, I'll run it through my value system - an interesting gun.
