Default Makila again

Hi guys,
I have now acquired another Makila, nothing special, but I thought that I would post pics, so that they will be available for researchers in the future.
Can anyone translate the inscription for me?

1894 DUFOUG À SAINT JEAN DE LUZ
DUFOURG, it's a Basque family surname, probably, the name of the artisan who manufactured this "makila"
SAINT JEAN DE LUZ, it's "THE" main harbor, in French Basque country
