    I can't find my records at the moment - that's what happens if you tidy up the workshop!

    However, IF my memory is correct, your rifle was originally made in St. Etienne (S) in 1869, and upgraded to the Gras 74-80 configuration (with the gas-relieving cut-out) by the Chatellerault (C) arsenal in 1885.
