I am thinking it was made by MAB... but the cobwebs in this old memory are sometimes hard to sweep out. I remember they were in the Shooter's Bibles of the late 1960's and early 1970's... If anyone has one of those Bibles, you may be able to find the gun in question.

You are thinking of Unique modèle 'L'. It's a terrific little combo. This one is mine. It's too bad that the concept of a spare rifle upper for a latched barrel handgun fell into disuse. I'd love to get an HK P9S or a Desert Eagle set up this way.
