Merci Fab. Rough translation:

Hi AGS

Nice gun which seems to be in fine shape

Per photo 1 it can be dated pre-1933. After this date (1933) the cover plate would be positioned on the left side of the receiver.

Per photo 2 this gun has a safety trigger which makes one think that it is an ejector model
This safety would prevent any discharge from a blow (or shock).
The third photo explains this.

I think that Argo, to whom I send greetings, will help with the translation.

AGS, I took a look at the catalog pages you posted. There is little in the way of useful descriptions in these blurbs...they are mostly advertising the various types (with names) of steel in the barrels, engravings ejectors etc. The advertisement for the parts might be interesting. Will wait for more photos.

Here is the French version of "Gunbroker" or "Guns International" or "Guntrader.uk). You can take a look at the Simplex guns for sale there:

If you need to look up a gun term, our dictionary here is the best....still doesn't include everything. FAB surprises us sometimes as does Passionlachasse.fr, the French version of BBS.
