Leon Mortin??? Anyone have any info on his basses?

[John Delventhal]

I can't find much on this guy....not even in my copy of "Looking At The Double Bass"

Leon Mortin - French maker late 1800s early 1900s. The only basses and info I can find are on these two pages http://www.talkbass.com/forum/showthread.php?t=587378 and http://www.stringemporium.com/basscafe.htm

What are his dates?

Any photos of his basses?

Anyone own one???

I ask because a friend came across a possible fake by the name Leon Martin. Was there a different maker that went by this name in the early 1900s? I will try to get some photos up but, he hasn't sent me them yet. Just curious for now about the maker.
