Oh here's one or two of those patents that you say Francisque didn't have time to get...

This cover sheet actually represents two numbers 13898 of 1911, and 412355 that was issued in 1910 and applied for on the 5th of February in 1910...

So although Francisque first appears on the radar (patent record)in early 1910, you have INFERRED (slick) that he merely opened his shop in 1910...as though he was just deciding what he wanted to do in life...you're an artist Ted



Before you get your panties in a bunch...yes I can see that 13898 is an addition to 412355 ...but that doesn't negate the evidence (by further distraction), as you like to do

Let me see if I have your perspective correct...

Francisque Darnes are not Darnes

Francisque had no time to get any patents...

Beagle's gun is dead...(I heard he's glued it and shooting it already)

and you don't want to backwards into a gun like that (inferring a cheap copy)

ALL the French records were lost in the war and there won't be any forth coming books or catalogs for everyone to learn from...
I guess we're all stuck with 3 D's...the Darne Dynamic Dou...without the insight of the 3 D's, Darne history would be lost

Do I have it about right...is this the paradigm you guy's have put forth? The one I just can't get my mind around? The one no one can add to or deviate from.

Then what is the reason for the cheap shots against me and why do you turn your nose up to the Darne USA forum...

I think it's the partially false paradigm that you have created
