You're right Larry, that's what happens when sourcing info from memory. The Ideal had the "Brevete dans tous les pays", while the Robust was only "Brevete SGDG".

gtw: Spanish manufacturers? Frankly I think there's a BIG difference between my AYA case coloring and that example above.  Jim

WC- \ That sounds a bit like typical French overstatement. To be patented everywhere sounds good, but not sure how well it would actually hold up. But then probably no one else wanted to try to make an Ideal! Very good guns, but quirky enough that only the French would do it.

Quirky? Larry, I resemble that.

You do indeed! Between the Darne and the Ideal--and those are just the most popular quirky guns they've come up with--the French win the quirky award hands down.

The French- they are a most curious race- etc. Better yet what Gen. George S. Patton Jr. said about the French Army in WW11 Europe, right after the Vichy troops folded like a cheap paper-mache suitcase in a tornado--the Operation Torch landing in Algiers to dislodge Rommel from North Africa-- "I'd rather have one French Division out in front of me, than have 4 behind me"-- But some of their fusils are A-OK- the late M McIntosh endorsed his Froggy Friend and his George's Granger shotgun. Persoannly, I'd give it back to George, if it his Granger shotgun, why give it to another fellow--??

There is always the exception to the utilitarian grades     This one is self opening, with ejectors and a "slightly rifled" right hand barrel (RAYE). It also has the retracting sling Idéals have. JC

Jaycee, that as nice a Robust as I have seen. I like it! As I search for a 16 gauge Ideal I'm starting to be intrigued by the Ideal-Robusts.

Four palm barrels on a Robust? Cool.

36ES was the highest grade possible on a Robust in 1930, the only year it existed...
E is ejector
S is "Supra" barrel. This was *not* for slug shoooting as much as as for dispersing shot for close range action.
The 36ES was priced at 1800FF i.e. between the 5S and 6 grade Ideal(s).
Nice one!
