Hello Jim

...I searched online and actually found one reference on this forum. A pistol with the stamp is shown below.

Zaoue supplied arms to Garibaldi - the go-between was Alexandre Dumas...

I don't know whether Georges Zaoue's company manufactured the blades or just supplied them - the names of fourboisseurs who supplied them is sometimes found stamped.

The forum post mentions the nimchas coming from Marseille - might there have been a regular trade from there to the Maghreb?
