Chris, Welcome to the site. The expertise here is what attracted me 9 years ago. There are several knowledgeable persons on this board interested in French guns including two or three Europeans. And when we get curious about a subject we expand our knowledge as well. For instance, the Breuil's were a prominent barrel making family in Saint-Étienne and have been discussed regularly. it was FAB500 who detailed their divisions in that previous AB line but it somehow didn't register or stick, at least with me. I think we all have absorbed it now. We will continue to look for the gun maker "AB" and for the origin of those in-house quality marks.
