I was traveling for 10 weeks and just got home. Will translate this tomorrow. Very good material.

In 1898, to visually separate the proof of pyroxylite powders from black powder proof, the Saint-Etienne proofhouse created two new stamps: the "crowned F" simple test for finished rifles, and the "crowned S" superior test for finished guns.

Prior to 1898, there was no stamp for black powder proofing finished rifles.
