			Hugues Courant from the Municipal and Metropolitan Archives in Brest France recently responded to my request for information on the maker of these pistols. Although they have no specific information on a Goyel or Goyet arms manufacturer, they have 3 registers of congregations of inhabitants and craftsmen for the period. These registers have been scanned and are available on their website. Unfortunately, there is no alphabetical index, and I don't speak or read French.

			I checked the name "GOYET"  a second time and found  
		
		
		
		
		
		
		
	- GOYET, arquebusier cannonier a St.Etienne en 1680-1700 Perhaps a son of this Goyet moved to Brest during the 18. century?!  |
