It is made by the Manufacture Française d'Armes et Cycles de St. Etienne. Even if you are not interested to purchase, it is interesting to look at. Persoanlly I have only seen one ever being used. -- Steven Maasland Moorestown, NJ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ --- wow. First time I have ever seen or heard of one. What advantage--if any--does this contraption supply? Many folks have said it before me, but I hope you don't mind me repeating,,, those French sure are "different"!
