Actually, Carl, this is the gun that I was referring to on guns International:

That gun is pretty clearly a model T. If I am not mistaken, this exact gun made an appearence in The Double Gun Journal a few years back, where it was noted the gun was restocked by Ted Neal, and it was his gun.

The barrel flats, of your own gun:



Your gun, appears to be what was cataloged as a model "Fixe" which came in 6 grades, from grade 3 to grade 8. My own Jallas and Cie catalog, from the 1930s, makes no mention of quality stamps on any of the grades, but, the two oval marks on the flats of your gun are indeed, Francisque Darne "Poincons" or, quality stamps. Geoffroy has a bit different version of the catalog, still Jallas and Cie, but, it appears to be different vintage than mine.




Type 3 and 4 Fixe models were cataloged on a different page than the grade 5,6,7, and 8, which were referred to in the catalog as model "Platines". I'm not positive which grade your gun is, and would likely need to do some more research through different vintage Jallas and Cie catalogs to come up with it. One clue to the age of your gun, is the note of the winning of the gold medal in 1914, which, I would guess, leads to production in the late teens to maybe 1930. That stamp eventually disapeared on later guns.



I only put a few of your pictures up, Carl, as only a few were composed well enough to be useful to the discussion. Photographing guns is tough. Try to get a few more well illuminated shots of the barrel flats and tubes just in front of them, and of the action, open and closed.

A digital camera is a better tool for this than a phone.

Best,
Ted
