Other Notes: Nicolas-Noel Boutet rightly claimed to be the finest gunmaker of his period in Paris. He was born in 1761 to Noel Boutet who held the position of Arquebusier des Chevaux Legers du Roi (Gunmaker to the King's Light Cavalry). Boutet trained under his father and his career was already assured when he married Louise-Emile Desaintes, the daughter of another royal gunsmith. He continued under his father until, in time, he assumed his position. This status quo remained until the French Revolution; following this Boutet was appointed Director of the new government's arsenal at the Palace de Versailles. In this new position he directed the manufacture of standard issue military arms but his interests lay in the making of fine presentation guns and swords. He received the highest accolades for his Fusils d'Honneur; these were specially made muskets given to soldiers in recognition of their bravery. In addition, he was charged with the building of very fine pistols and sporting arms which were presented to favoured officials and foreign dignitaries by the government. In 1804 Boutet took his son, Pierre- Nicolas, as business partner and they remained the most respected makers in Paris long after the fall of Napoleon in 1815. Boutet died in 1833 after having served France through the most tumultuous of times; when he began his apprenticeship France was still a monocracy but he lived through her transition to republic, followed by a brief rise of the Royal Family and then once again to republic.
