I see the dates 1952, 53, and 54, and mention of Paris. The Baby Bretton was first produced by Gaucher in the 1920s, if I am not mistaken.

Other then the lever location, it doesnt seem different than the Bretton. It would be interesting to know what was patently different between the French and Italian guns, but, that said, I wont be buying either version.


Best,
