I just got this website from a friend in France .... http://www.servicehistorique.sga.defens ... _lebel.htm
It has loads on information on plans, articles and memoires on the Mle.1886 "Lebel" ... This is the jackpot I have been seeking.
Now to get this all translated as my French is horrible

Thats and interesting site Patrick. If there is anything you can't translate I might be able to help you. My friend Alain at the club speakes good English and is happy to translate things for me.
I just found this on the site. It is an old postcard of the Gendarmerie in Blaye. They still use the same building!
