1903 Western Field also mentions the Reble' Gun

Can't find Reble' as a French nor Belgian maker

Another mention of J.H. Lau & The Reble' Gun, but still no idea as to the maker

Not much help, but clearly an import

J. H. Lau Co., 75 Chambers street, New York, have just received a fresh supply of new Reble' guns. They are pronounced
the finest that have ever come to this country; handsome in appearance, finely balanced and finished in the most perfect
manner. The Reble' gun is not a mere shooting machine, but a strong, serviceable gun of the highest quality.

Used by Sim Glover in competition
