Too, without you taking note here and there & on auctions, these relics from the Golden Age of Gunning would be resigned to the rusty scrap heap of history, masked & obscured by neglect & the elements for few, if any, to enjoy & appreciate. A vailed effort by the ravages of time, nipped in the bud in the nick of time by a keen eye, a stout hand & Ballistol, where you have invested in an abandoned platform and coveted tubes bringing it back to its former self and pressing it into service for future aficionados to appreciate & enjoy. I for one am ecstatic to be involved in the process. Should I say more.....

Should you venture over to the Dark Side of British Wares, all you need is an original forend iron where cobbling every component back together with said forend iron makes the platform, All Original >>As New<<...

Here is a lovely brace of C. Mode scatterguns, but they only have the lowly Whitworth Steel Chopper Lump Tubesets from the Little British Isles. Most of C.(Célestin Jules) Modé were Belgian sourced but never have I seen the unqiue AF stamp @ the bottom.

Maybe it was Célestin Jules Modé's Belgian connection that allowed him not to have the mark, if a Paris mark?
