I see nothing that indicates a reproofing, but I'm not at all sure I'd recognize it if it was there. I've also had no luck finding out anything about A. Breuil, Claude Breuil and Jean Breuil are recorded as barrel makers in St. Etienne ca. 1950 in John Walter's Concise Dictionary of Guns and Gunmakers. No mention in that source of MPB Paris. I guess the answer is to have a seriously qualified gunsmith go over it and evaluate wall thickness near the chambers.
