i think its the etttiene a copy made by the Chatellerault for the anniversary of St Ettiene armaments factory , the ettiene factory got the new legion weapons contract so could not make all its own commemorative editions and Chatellerault made quite few ( from reading in different books ) the markings all match, and i cant find any other double gun made by Chatellerault, lots of singles but no doubles with the exception of the St ettiene commemorative and these where not a cheap or common gun , one sale in the UK last year saw one sell for near to $700 USD ( $640 plus buyer premium) the EU is the place to get the best value for these as else where they are just another gun .. and hard to get parts for ..
