ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS:
I would like to thank my friend and collector Patrick Bésigot for the relevance of his remarks and knowledge of the subject. He provided the exact dates of the April 17 and October 10, 1930 regulations; I thank him for agreeing to share his information, which beyond being used on this "commercial" sheet, also aims, in the spirit in which I try to build my detailed sheets, to provide a documentary source that I hope is of quality and can be used by enthusiasts seeking reliable sources.
