Among his various table knives, pruning knives, corkscrews, and pock knives he also sold some pinfire revolver knives. The revolver element was made under contract by a shop in Liege Belgium, proofed by the Liege proof house, and send to Thiers where Sigaud-Barnerias added his markings (the “SB” in an oval), knife hardware, and side panels.
