Jack, I don't know anything about Huret, but being located in Lille, which is almost in Belgium, he might well have sold Belgian-made guns. Even though there was a very active French industry, a surprising number of Belgian guns show up with French addresses on the barrels.

Could Pirlot possibly be Pirlet? Seems I've seen that name in combination with Mode (as in Mode-Pirlet), with I think a Paris address. Mode, however, was another Belgian maker.
