Default French fourbisseur PIERRE SOMME 1760-1806

Anybody out there know this maker/supplier in Paris 1760-1806. Hoping to find an example of any weapons by him or examples of his markings on same.
Would be most grateful to have input from those who have interest in French edged weapons.

Thanks very much Ed! I have a huge hole in my library that should have French info :_) That answers my question perfectly.

Best

Jim,
Is it possible your briquet is not Paul Storr but Pierre Somme?
The latter being a cutler, it would make more sense, or is this why you're asking?
Regards
Richard
