It was made in 1885 or completed in 1886 & yes constriction in the left tube.

I still think it was the concern below & that there just wasn't enough room for the full name so PONDEVAUX ET was applied on left lock.


PONDEVAUX ET JUSSY, fabricants d'armes de luxe stéphanois / à Saint-Étienne, place de l'Hotel-de-Ville, n. :S4, à Saint-Etienne (Loire), fondé en 1837.

Hi Raimey,
the lock is engraved "Pondevaux Ft" (not Et).
Ft stands for "Fabricant" e.g. "Maker".
Nice gun indeed, with a great barrel set...

Thanks there WildCattle. I was hoping you'd nip in & comment. So with FT, when did PONDEVAUX ET JUSSY divorce? Did you notice that DD also applied a datastring like L. Bernard?

From the datastring & marks. I'll need to locate several more to have a very high probability, but the touchmarks point that way.

"....en fait celui de Didier Drevet, un spécialiste du canon damas couronné en 1855 à l'exposition universelle de Paris, et qui déposa en 1899 un brevet pour son fameux « canon Plume », un hamerless système Anson classique mais dont la particularité était de disposer d'un canon sans bande dont les tubes étaient réunis au moyen d'une cale unique, puis brasés."


"En 1855, Pierre Didier Drevet, maître canonnier stéphanois remporte la médaille d'or lors de l'Exposition Universelle de Paris pour la confection d'un canon en Damas exceptionnel ; un siècle plus tard, la maison existe toujours et se distingue par un canon ultra-léger, sans bande, où les deux tubes sont réunis au moyen d'une cale unique (brevet déposé le 10 octobre 1899, par les Etablissements Didier-Drevet) se terminant à zéro près des assemblages, le tout brasé. Excédent de bande arrondi et dont l'extrémité, à cinq centimètres du tonnerre, se termine en forme de "bec d'aigle".Ce modèle baptisé "Plume-Euréka", par l'absence de bandes, est un canon extrêment léger qui, cependant demeure plus épais aux endroits essentiels et présente des tubes parfaitement ronds sur toute leur surface ; le guidon d'une conception très spéciale est noyé à l'extrémité des deux tubes, se trouvant sensiblement plus bas que la visière, ce qui fait automatiquement donner un coup haut. D'autres canonniers stéphanois vont exceller dans la construction de ce type de canon, la Maison Fanget en particulier, produit qui équipera et fera apprécier, dans la première moitié du XXe siècle, des armes de chasse allégées et belles grâce à cette particularité : le canon "plume"."

Looks like PONDEVAUX ET JUSSY split the sheet circa 1867-1868 and it became Joseph Pondevaux, fabricant d'armes, arquebusier, armurier,

That is very interesting. Of course, it was Didier Drevet, not M. Pondevaux, who won the medal in 1855. Ultra-light barrels are a good thing. When the shotgun arrives, I'll be sure to weigh it. Thanks.


What does the "Rebaud. P" stamp on the water table signify? An inspector? the workman who finished the water-table?
