Merci Fab, je ne me suis pas rendu compte que les deux companies étaient different!

Translation of Fab's comment:
The manufacture française d'armes (MF) founded in 1885 by Blanchon and Mimard growing out of the manufacturer Martinier-Collin is not the same as la société manufacturière d'armes.
See the photo of the catalogue from 1902.
I don't know the date it was created, or the closing date of the manufacturer.
Per the photo the barrels are signed "Marsot"
This barrel maker closed at the beginning of the 1920's

(Note: re date of creation, there is an 1892 catalog on-line for sale, and the gun pictured above has chambering in MM....pre-1889.)

A book on its history up to 1910 is available:

Catalogs for several years are for sale:

The company made bicycles and motorcycles:

They made cars for a few years in the early 1900's. This one sold for $126,000
