Mauro,

I believe that Interarms purchased some if not all of the French production and had started to import them prior to 1968 so many will show up without import marks. As in this link:

The import marks are in a very interesting location on the slide rail for the guns imported post 1968. This gun is a very rare "L" block.

The box is a common item to find with these guns however, I have never seen just a box for sale!
