There has been some progress in addressing some of the above mentioned holes in the research. French auction sites, in particular Drouot, usually publish serial numbers and are selling more antique guns. There is nothing below which requires serious changes in the chart though, just an understanding that we have to have flexibility in creating the chart.

Here are 3 early guns, which I've put post WWI.

There are two Model 32's which are post 1930

There are a few more guns immediately pre-WWII

There are more Robusts from 1949 but none going back to immediate post WWII (SN 230000 + or -)

The first Model 254 SN (1976) which I'd put at 730xxx turns out to be 780xxx which makes it a lot easier to construct a post WWII graph:

And two late serial numbers have been added which stretch the total gun numbers to 885,000
