Pupil of LEON Mougenot? Correct? His father Georges worked in Brussels, not Mirecourt then. Leon was in Mirecourt.
One of the daughters of Gabriel Jacquet-Gand married Leon Mougenot. They advertised their products together for a time as well. Perhaps this is the connection as this looks less like a makers bass and more like a production type instrument.
