Does anyone know of a book on French gunmakers? Photos here: http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.aspx?Item=485895913

It's a high grade gun by Pondevaux of St. Etienne. St. Etienne was a major center of arms manufacture, and was in fact the location of the main French government arsenal. I have found examples of percussion & pinfire guns by Pondevaux on the Internet. The firm was at one point also called "Pondevaux et Jussey." Last edited by David Zincavage; 06/13/15 01:32 PM.

Anybody know what the "17.0" mark signifies? Can you tell me anything more about Didier Drevet? I see that he won a medal at an exhibition in 1855.
