Of course, but it will need at least a week or more because rhe gun has to be send from another part of Germany....... I'm sure you are right with the side plate!
Any idea of the maker? Arquebusier Mistral a Marseille.

Wolfgang

I, like Raimey, believe that this gun was built on the Rieger platform shown in the pictures.
Does it have a detachable fore-end?
Mistral, Marius: Gun maker in Marseille circa 1890-1900
address: 22, rue de Noailles.
The markings (if any) should help us figure this out.
Best regards,

Raimey,
my school french let me read that the undersigner, may be it reads Jean Pirlet, thanks a certain Mr. E. Dufaur (?) for his letter of May 2 and that it is an honor for him to let him know, that he could adress to Mr. H Josse, 17 Boulevard de la Madelaine, Paris (I think may be a lawyer) who can advise him and help him to prepare necessary samples of his invention in the establishment and could represente him in all french and foreign affairs.
Hope this is right so far....!? Makes sense? BTW in red on the head of the letter is stamped: "Acquereur de la M Pirlet Fils & Co"
Best regards,
Wolfgang

Gunwolf:
Thanks for all the effort
So, prior to November 1919, Acquéreur De la Monsieur Jean Pirlet Fils & Cie, Jean Pirlet acquired C. Modé of Paris? I'll have to go back & read the C. Modé thread.
Kind Regards,
Raimey

Best regards,
Wolfgang Gunwolf, you've pretty much got the French. Maybe a bit odd, if M. Josse is a lawyer, that he isn't referred to as "maître". But maybe not the usage if he's strictly a patent attorney.

L.Brown, think you are right, the "Maitre" is not mandatory. Look at this find of 1874 http://www.lesgrosbarbares.info/lefaucheux/index.php?file=Sections&op=article&artid=164Search for Defaure and you will find this: "4° : Et Mr Jules Dufaure, avocat à la cour impériale de Paris, demeurant à Paris, rue Le Peletier n° 24." He is only called "avocat" and not "Maitre" Best regards, Gunwolf
