I was looking at an ad on Guns International about a week ago for a " FRAPPER MORIN 12GA LIGHT WEIGHT FIELD GUN 6LBS 2OZ" and had planned to post a comment here (this gun has now been sold).

The gun was identified as a "Frapper Morin" French gun. Well, even after all our posting here, the gun dealers still get it wrong. "Le Frapper-Morin" is the name of the retailer in Pontivy, Brittany. Here is the stamp of the retailer and the map of the location Pontivy.



Here is a French Newspaper from Pontivy with mention of Le Frapper-Morin, who like many French hardware stores in the 1930's dealt in Bicycles and other stuff too:'

"Le Journal de Pontivy". 23 September 1931: (I didn't want to pay the site to get the actual newspaper ad...so just copied the reference)


However, the question I had of this particular Saint-Etienne made gun was this mark on the Key which is identical to the mark on the "Screw-Grip" posted by Raimey above; I was going to ask whose mark is that "monkey riding the lion?"



Barrel flats from the Le Frapper-Morin gun:


On Raimey's image, bottom word is "Marque"....can't make out the top one but you could ask the dealer.
