little question that raimey has provided the insight...complete with an anchor date of 1930. as with most french guns, that's likely to be about as good as dating gets. i would question whether the beavertail forearm is original - everything else appears to be typically french...and i would judge to be built on a standard v-c side plated helice action.

handsome gun...

best regards,

tom
