smlekid: I once owned a quite nice Gervais sidelock. As I recall, the gun was built in Antwerp ("Anvers") but marked "Jules Gervais," and with a Swiss address ... I can't remember the city, but might still have it in my notes. I decided Gervais must have been a Swiss between-the-wars version of Abercrombie & Fitch or something. TT
