I'm sure Mark's Langwill will have the most info, I'll add what I have. Under "Makers" in Rendall are listed 3 Thibouville enterprises, Andre, successor to Bie' Paris 1886 ; T-Cabart,J-B, T was subsequently omitted,Paris and Ezy, 1869; T-Lamy,J'er'ome, Paris and London, 1867-, making it sound as if Jerome were a first name [doubtful]. One of my oldest Muller-Alberts [no upper joint rings] says Ch. Jerome on the UJ and on the bell [may not be the original!] says [on 3 lines] Jerome Thibouville Lamy, with a unclear signature [actual craftsman?] below, and "honors" decorations. No ser no, unreadable stamp on barrel, no "B" or"LP". For whats it worth, interesting!! Don
