It is an earlier term for Nitro powder. Later you mostly see Poudre Vive or Poudre Sans Fumée - Smokeless powder.

Smokeless Powder proof marks

Drew, thanks for your knowledge on this one. With the 2 3/4 chambers and the very pristine condition, I was going in the direction of a more modern gun imported after AF. I am floored that it is a 1920 or earlier gun. Appreciate you passing on your knowledge. Ever seen the side selector on the Francottes?
