Louis Moutier, arquebusier of profession, wife in 1830 the line of Henry Lepage, son and successor of Jean Lepage. In 1842 he succeeds to his father by taking the direcion the famous arquebuserie 8, rue de Richelieu in Paris. It is from this date that he signs his arms L. Lepage-Moutier, while patents are filed by Louis Moutier-Lepage. Until 1848 he added to his signature the Arquebusier mention of King and Princes (1848 saw the end of the monarchy in France (King Louis-Philippe)). Some sources state of a possible manufacture of its weapons á Liege, weapons that were then assemblies and signed by Loius Lepage Moutier in Paris. Confusion can also easily be done if you know the name of Lepage is not unknown in the world of the armory of the city of the Prince-Bishops or, at this time, it is reported, including Lepage Brothers (Charles and Alphonse Lepage), whose registered office is in Paris, 12, rue d'Enghien, but whose weapons are manufactured at the factory Lepage Brothers á Ličge. But, according to various souces, the Lepage Brothers are not at all related to Lepage that concern us.
In 1865, Louis Lepage Moutier-partners with Henri Faure -Lepage, son of Fauré officer and Eleonore Lepage, daughter of Jean Lepage and thus sister of the father-Louis Moutier. This association lasted until the latter's death in 1868.
