I thought it was repairs too, but I was informed it meant they were made in France. So your Gillette could have been made by Kirby Beard & Co.
This is really interesting for me,when I originally got my really battered up Gillette 1909 ABC (or so I thought) Pocket Edition (has the right date code,patent markings on case,hinge not button,etc),what was left of the lining (not much) had 'Paris' in the top left hand corner (the rest was indistinguishable).What did set it apart from anything else I could find,was the 'G in the D' on the reverse side of the baseplate...
After a year in the 'to do' box,it has been polished to the max,case relined,case dents knocked out,case polished too,you get the picture!,restored from the dead,to now be my daily driver....
So my question is,surely the 'G in the D' must date 20 odd years earlier than 1930?,as I am sure mine is from 1909?....
