Manufrance Robust No, 208-S (1937-1940). Serial number looks to possibly be 210044. . .which would be a pretty definitive cut-off of Robusts pre WWII. I've asked the seller on Naturabuy to confirm the SN. This might be a date marker on the dating graph.

Naturabuy is very frustrating. Not only are most photos hazy and amateurish, there are few photos of the guts of the guns - barrel flats, etc, and very few that get into the proof marks, and almost none which mention Serial Numbers.

The number is 216641 - now a new datapoint for the number of guns made before WWII. (It is possible that this is a 1949 number; to be clarified).
