Any others besides the 1940’s Piper Bayard and the Rutten, rifles like the AirStar?

Love the La Mondiale and the Paff, but looks like their unobtainium?

The trigger guard on that first Mondiale of Frank's is lovely! Only seen one like it on rather older target rifles.

It is, isn’t it?

I guess the Belgian arms trade was so busy making everything from garden guns to HMGs that they never felt a great need to get into the airgun business?

Pieper Bayard made some cool 22 Target pistols and 25 auto pocket pistols. Surprised only one Airgun and that was after WW2? Pieper was one of the founding members of FN.

And the Bergmann Bayard model 1908 locked-breech service pistol. The confusingly-named Bayard model 1908 was a completely different blowback model in .25”, .32” and .380”, made from 1908 until about the start of WW2.

Lets no forget the Lepco model 50.
