Manurhin

It is used to designate the Manurhin MR 73 revolver family, manufactured at Saint-Bonnet-le-Château, France.

It is through its production of its revolvers (notably the Manurhin MR 73 used at the time by French National Gendarmerie, as well as for its offensive role and use by French police tactical units such as GIGN and the National Police's RAID) that Manurhin acquired its notoriety.

In 1998, Chapuis Armes purchased Manurhin, and began manufacturing new revolvers at the new Manufacture d. Armes de tir Chapuis facility located in Saint Bonnet Le Chateau, France, using the original Manurhin Equipment 1972–1998, located in Mulhouse, France.

According to Bonhams the MR 75 “was constructed to a high standard and must have been one of the first motorcycles to be painted electrostatically, a process commonly known as ‘powder coating’.

When DKW ceased production of the Hobby, Manurhin continued with its version, which in 1957 had the third highest sales for European scooters behind Lambretta and Vespa.”[4]
