Canvasback,
Yes, the catalog shows the 370 Deluxe and the 375 Prestige.
I managed to get to Saint Etienne just before the start of the closures of the early 80s (driving my 1958 2CV). I got conflicting reports about engraving. What is evident though is that it must have been close to impossible to offer such a wide range of custom choices with only the staff engravers.
What is also evident is that most small gunmakers sourced parts from Manufrance, pretty much the same way the English sourced parts from Scott to finish to their specs and standards. The most used action (judging by the numbers and variations) was the Robust. Nine times out 10 when asking to see a "fusil artisanal" I was shown a custom finished Robust.
Talking with Herve Bruchet re the gunmaking business in Saint Etienne was interesting. His comment on it was "positively incestuous", in other words pretty much like any other small industrial city where workers and traders collaborate closely and "multi task".
Driving in Saint Etienne and tackling their bouleverd peripherique is unforgettable!
