I'm recalling from memory here...what I meant was Centaure is also a trade name used by Hanquet...if I remember correctly the Hanquets either ran or owned Fabrique Armes de Reunies (sp?)(Centaure factory) that made some low end doubles, using non ML based actions...make your own assumptions from there...only two others were making reciever forgings.
If it's important to you, I can probably dig up an old catalog...I didn't trade it away so I must still have it somewhere...in the front of the catalog there are pics of two Hanquets (brothers maybe) at the helm of the company...
In fact most Belgian collectors know Centaure only as Reunies and the connection to Pieper is new to at least myself...
I guess that you would prefer if I abondoned the JABC moniker altogether...which is OK with me
also...when did WIPO start going back in time to before WW II?
I thought WIPO was for current trademarks only.
