In British slang an anorak is a person who has a very strong interest in niche subjects.

No I had not !!!!Have you seen this?
Thanks G .
Will read now - looks( almost ) identical to chaps - the trigger guard and stock ( fancy ornate style - no idea what they call it if indeed they do call it anything ) is near enough identical .
It may have been this auction that I saw an image of it - makes sense cannot remember was a few years back .
Many thanks .
Another airgunblog to read !

See also John Atkins in Air Gunner August 2017. If you don't have a copy, I suggest you buy a digital subscription, which is fantastic value because it gives you unrestricted access to the digital archive going back to May 2009 - see my web links thread for details.

It's no secret. Just because you were 'born yesterday', it doesn't mean the rest of us were.
(Edit: looking back at this, it seems a bit rude despite the 'smiley'. I meant no offence, and have no desire to puncture your admirable enthusiasm for vintage airguns.

Searching right here for "freres" brings up this from 2008:

Member 'bazwong' had acquired one of these missing the bolt, from a UK auction I had been following. That gun may have been the one eventually in Anderson & Garland's auction (then recently at Holt's as I recall) - it's hard to tell from the photos whether the bolt is original or a well-done repro.
These are beautifully constructed, svelte little guns and it'd be nice to know if more of them are hidden away on the Continent!
