Thanks all for your comments and yes I was lucky getting this one. It came from an auction site in Europe and I had very little to go on when I deciced to bid on it. From the information provided by the seller and the knowledge I already had on Guyot, I knew it was a high grade firearm but it had problems. I set my limit in regard to bidding and hoped like hell that its short comings and not so common maker would keep the price down.
Don't know if my train of thought was right but I got it and that was all I cared about. Of course then the waiting began and after a few months it arrived down under. When the moment of truth arrived, I really hoped my gamble had paid off. I knew of its problems, but were they only as bad as the seller had said or had it been talked up. Lucky for me his discription was off; it was much better and I smiled. Actually I smiled a lot !
Maybe tomorrow I'll take the French Lady for a pleasent stroll along the grassy banks of a running stream --------- and shoot the shit out of some more pigs.
Viva la France.
