Guys,

That's neat Mark. They got pretty carried away with the design of the Anchor didn't they. Almost cartoonish in appearance and design. The first time I have ever seen a French Navy mark.

I hate to ask this question (but recently seeing a so called Finnish navy marked Hi-Power) are the markings legit ??

Yes ... the serial number range is correct and a few others have been reported in the same range ........ I think Tom Knox has one in a similar serial number range.

The French Navy was not very long lived and not many of these guns are around.

Tom Knox purchased one from me when no one else was interested in French guns. TH

Interesting french gun. here is a link to download the schematic:
