A
revolver of “Salon Shooting”, calibre 6mm Flobert in its box with all
accessories.
It bears the brand of its manufacturer Gilles Mariette.
The mark of the erect little lion bearing an
escutcheon with the inscription "F Bté" is that of the holder of the patent
“Flobert”
himself.
What’s
funny is the “Peugeot” screwdriver.
It should be noted that Peugeot has manufactured tools, including high quality wood chisels !!

It is almost not readable but it is clear under the binocular one. It acts of a mark that Stockel indicates on page 1468 like unknown. DOYE was the inventor according to this same Stockel of the System Prelat & Doye.
