Can anyone help date an early french reg?

Hi,

I picked up a La Spirotechnique with a Rue Cognac can. It only has 3 digits in the serial number (255) and am wondering what year it was produced. I read on the French Frogman site that the can address for La Spirotechnique can give you an idea on the age much like on US Divers:

(http://frogmanmuseum.free.fr/html/deten ... iquefr.htm)

* Rue Cognac Jay, Paris VII - jusqu’en 1956
* Rue Trébois, Levallois( Seine) - jusqu’en ??? (mais au moins 1962)
* Rue Marius Aufan Levallois (92).

Can anyone suggest a source of information on dating this and other French regs?

Not sure this is working but here is a photo of the reg.

You'll need to try posting your picture again. I tried to fix this for you but your post didn't even have a link to your image.

Hi,

Thanks for the link. I knew the address change was in 1956 but the link points out the Mistral started in 1955. With a serial number of 255 I am thinking I have a first year 1955 Mistral. Cool.
