Manufrance stopped trading in the early 1980's and was declared bankrupt in 1985; the company, which had specialised in catalog based sales since their creation in 1885 had not anticipated on the market change. Manufrance was the reference for hunting, fishing, cycling and all outdoor/farming life supply; they were supplying all rural France and the colonies and were the larger employer in the city of Saint Etienne in central France, where they were based. I can recall buying their catalog each year when a teenager and spending hours browsing repeatedly through it.
Since the late 80's a 'new' Manufrance re-started trading on a much limited scale and still manufactures shotguns that were previously manufactured by the 'older' Manufrance.
