Unless it's Darne/Paul Bruchet, or Manufrance you're not going to get any info regarding French piece. Most Americans don't like French guns. I asked couple questions regarding lovely Vouzelaud 315 BLE, but got nothing besides stupid remarks like: do you eat frog legs?, ribbit, not wee, wee, 'Kermit's gun',..... so don't feel left out, I feel your pain. It looks similar to nice mid-grade Italian gun to me, but I have not even hadled one.
