Raw brass (there wasn’t much laquer left). It differs from Meha and Brevette models with details such as no 3rd slide throw, a 1st slide throw, and a perpendicular 2nd slide instead of a forward-leaning 2nd slide ("French Besson".) It is not marked with the Besson logo, to get around US import quotas.
