WC, the Belgians have used "PV" (poudre vive) ever since 1898. The fact that you'll see "pyroxylee" on some French guns means nothing, other than the fact that some French gunmakers chose to use that term.


Larry, it seems you didn't take an advice and didn't read Manufrance catalog 1900 pages 2-8.
(Sorry, but sign Eprouve Fini Poudre Pyroxylee indicates gun Nitro Proof and words Poudre Pyroxylee means Nitro Powder)
