Argo, thank you so very much for translating the article! It has great information about Maisonnial. It’s really fascinating to me that this gun, which was not mass produced or marketed for the US, somehow made its way to Ohio and into my possession. I would assume it was brought back by a US service member after the war. I did shoot the gun at clays and it functioned perfectly and was a pleasure to shoot. The gun is probably approaching 100 years old and still is functional! A true testament to the maker!
