If Naturabuy could ask its posters to publicize the SN of Robusts, this problem - dating Robusts - could be solved in a week. I sent this to Fab500 who hopefully can communicate with the website. (But come to think of it - this applies to virtually of the UK/USA websites as well).
Bonjour ou Bon soir et aussi Bonne Année! j'aime jouer avec Robust numéros de série. Cependant, si d'une manière ou d'une autre on pouvait convaincre Naturabuy d'exiger l'affichage des numéros de série pour Robusts, nous pourrions créer un graphique vraiment efficace. Probablement dans un mois. J'espère que tout va bien en France ; Mon beau-frère a quitté Strasbourg pour la Réunion. Gene Williams, McLean, Virginia

We'll have to return to Canvasback's 940,000 estimate for total Robust production. This Robust 254 is 919273: Edit: Per below, Fab contacted the seller and the SN is 819273.

In looking at Robusts I've run across a word I don't know - "borgne"; sometimes "crosse de borgne." It appears to indicate something somewhat unusual - perhaps "cobbled together" or possibly "bent center view stock". Does anyone know a good definition of this term? https://www.naturabuy.fr/Rare-fusil...ILS-A-PARIS-vers-1870-item-11236240.html

Preliminary efforts at making a dating graph on Word - 1913-1951. Not good but it will be refined

It is very frustrating that the proof house didn’t bother to date certificates of proof. I have looked at hundreds of those over the years, and that little addition would have answered questions.
Scary to think we are reliant on me for French text, but, I think that word refers to vision or lack of same, for the build of the stock. A stock for a vision impaired or partially blind individual, perhaps.
Best, Ted
