Sure, Raimey.
I was trying to put things in perspective.
E.g. even though I'd love to understand what happened to the people involved, it is as important to understand what happened to the brand itself.
We all know that the important brands have been built on a lot more than the founder's name and business practices.
F. Beesley was instrumental to Purdey, T.Woodward and Froome to Holland, L. Taylor, Deeley and Edge to W. Richards, etc...

Browsing around, I have found "Auguste Lebeau" (sans Courally) guns such as this one going all the way to 1926, with the same SN system than the LCs.
So that brand was kept alive for a long time, after Auguste L. demise's.

Best regards,
