The visible proofmarks are certainly German. Lower rung? Raimey, if the very first shots of what I assume to be ATM catalog copy represent what they actually sold, that's pretty clearly not a lower rung gun.

All of it does make one wonder just how excited the French might have been about German guns in the between the wars years. Not very pleasant memories from the Great War. And considering that back in the 20's, Verney-Carron was being promoted by French ace of aces Rene Fonck, who inscribed across his full page photo: "Le gibier tombe comme boches!" ("The birds fall like Krauts!")
