Thanks again for the effort. Do you know if there is a section in the law that requires the gunmakers to close up shop and join forces? I was just curious when the houses merged and how in the world Modé was funded to absorb the other concerns. Is the dubbing as a Knight the same as a Royal Appointment in other countries and was there a yearly fee? Did they also use the term Bte.(Brevete) after there name as advertising?
