Research notes
This was also a contemporary of the early French palm-squeezed pocket pistols based on the original Jacques Edmond Turbiaux design. It was manufactured by Manufacture Francaise, Armes Et Cycles, Saint Etienne from 1890 to the beginning of the 20th Century, but as with all these little palm pistols, although achieving some popularity, the development of the semi-auto pocket pistol led to the demise of this interesting part of firearm history. (Erlmeier, Brandt Ref. 90).
