Pirlet-Badin
26 rue du Fg St-Honore, Paris.
I have this nice boxlock and I also used to have a sidelock.
The boxlock is turn of the century (the 20th of course) and is really well made. It is proofed for Poudre J and poudre M rather than for the omnipresent Poudre T. It's got ejectors and intercepting sears.
The high end Paris retailers such as Pirlet, Gastinne and Guyot often bought actions or finished guns from the Liege trade. This gun is one of those. There is a faint Perron on the water table.
However, it definitely has a French twist.

My Granger is likely to be the best gun I own. It is a delightful 20 bore and compares to the very best in the world.
Granger was almost unique as he made everything in his shop, locks, stock and barrels!
