Argo, I've just come across "extérieur bronzage attenué à l'endroit du pouce".

Pretty sure it has something to do with pushrod ejector but neither google translate nor myself can make actual sense of it. The "bronzage" is throwing me.

I'll take a stab at it and say, "case coloring eroded where the thumb rests..."

Tim, I was wondering about something like that but in another part of the description he uses the term "jaspage".

So unless it's some linguistic oddity, if he used jaspage elsewhere, wouldn't he have used it in this case?

Whether I get it or not won't be the difference in buying or not buying the gun but I have been using this glossary of French terms and it has made things soooooooo much better. Google translate and my own school boy French is no match for the esoteric terms contained within double gun descriptions in French adverts.

"extérieur bronzage attenué à l'endroit du pouce"

Canvasback, "bronzage" is barrel bluing/blacking....I think the ad is saying the bluing is eroded where the thumb touches it. Wonder if the guy had his front hand thumb on a hot barrel? Or whether it was his rear hand thumb in contact with the receiver somehow? Alternatively, "pouce" also means "inch." Curious...WC?

Labour of love indeed. What about the term "square shot"? Do not the French peddle a good deal of that?
