well the usual resources are completely silent about Jean Cagnon - and I did check for Jean Gagnon too! nothing! So it's pretty sure that it's a stencil. If you think it's a Buffet, or might be, check out this post from way back by Ken Shaw:

Looking at the keywork in the photos I don't think it is a Buffet. My next thought was Couesnon but I don't think that's right either......maybe (just maybe) Martin Freres? Do some of the keys have a dot on them where a screw holding a flat spring comes out to the key surface? I couldn't tell from the pictures but it could help date the horn a little better.

Any more pictures of the keywork available? especially fairly close up? I haven't had a chance to check Constant Pierre yet, it's possible that this maker was one of the many small guys around Ivry......However prepare yourself for the possibility that you might never know who made this horn
