Yes..agree on VC action and patents - they were/are very good. But what's the common denominator amongst all those "HELICE" locks? Is there any? Or is it just a word? We'd have to go through each one to figure out whether it's a VC purloined 4th lock copy or something else. What does a gun with "Helice" on the key mean? If anything? It's got a left stop? It operates on a helical principle as has every center-break gun since Lefaucheux? If you speak of a "Helice system"...it means there's a system. There isn't unless you suppose that every use of the Helice variant means a VC copy....and that supposition can't be supported.
