Now I stood back and allowed these guys to speak first, second, third, and tenth...unless there is some sort of further pecking order censorship, perhaps I could go back in time two weeks and finish addressing the question...
Would that be alright with you Casey? Have you got some information to offer about Abeille? I have 10 bucks that says that you don't have one bite of info about Abeille and your just here to shore up the pecking order. Prove me wrong Casey...please...tell everyone what you know about Beags gun.
The gun has been pronounced "dead" by both of the French wizards at this system...how damaging can my lowly opinion be?
JC,
Thank you for helping to clarify the patent issue, I too will post in response to your photo...probably the most valuable bit of info I have to contribute to the patented model concept is unfortunately contrary...it's an old Caunier catalog that clearly shows what's currently accepted as a 1894 patent Darne but made by Charlin. If the whole 1894 patent notion is correct, why the would Charlin be manufacturing guns of anothers patent?
A good many pieces of the puzzle are still apart in the Darne story...too many for any member to squelch another contributing members voice...especially for spelling
