Raimey,

We don`t know anything about the quality of Lebeau except bad images in the Nobili`s book. Kiplauff of Prince Michael Romanoff and mitrailleuse of standard quality (see my blog).

M-me Moermans told me in Lebeau`s workshop worked no more than 15 people. Courally had at the disposal of 2 workshops not smaller than Francotte.

Regards,

Igor
