Well, there's a Stirling Castle in Scotland, and Stirling certainly isn't a typical French name. Boothroyd also lists a John Stirling, gunmaker, in business in Yorkshire. But that dates from mid-19th century, so not a very likely connection.

So, you are going to tell me that a British(either of the isles for those conscience) firearms merchant in 1927 is going to have his name placed on the toplever of a Belgian made sidelock? Is that an i between the names?
Kind Regards,

Not sure it's an i, Raimey. A bit blurry to read clearly. What am I seeing in front of Stirling? Could it be SA for Societe Autonyme?

I thought it to be OF but like I said, a magnification of noise. What about that bottom term?
Kind Regards,

Herenyi seems to mean Hungarian.
I have access to one (Hungarian).
Only ~ 7 million people speak Hungarian and the language is unlike anything else in Europe or elsewhere.
I'll ask.

Nice sleuthing there, W.C. Seems Stirling is a Hungarian name and I stumbled on a Herényi Gothard Sándor, not the same name put a lead in the the riht direction and then I found fegyverkovács/Puskamüves Herényi Gothard & Stirling, Szombathely( Steinamanger ) on Shotgun World: http://www.shotgunworld.com/bbs/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=254949With Emile Bernard name/tubes? Kind Regards, Raimey rs

If Stirling is a Hungarian name, interesting coincidence--because it's also a British name. Founder of the Special Air Service was a Stirling; relative of his, Archie Stirling, married Dame Diana Rigg (of "The Avengers" fame). There's an actress daughter named Claire Stirling. And of course Stirling Castle goes back a very long ways. Wonder if maybe a displaced Brit in Hungary? Something like Petrik ending up in France.

I don't know but it is right up my alley. And of course much more research needs to be performed in this area, probably along with a site visit. I still fancy the Avengers.
Kind Regards,
