French Hagen rifle

The Hagen was an experimental semiauto rifle developed in France in 1912. If I could read French, I would probably know a bit more about it…

  Hi there,
  At first, I was surprised to discover a rifle not mentioned by Jean Huon in his “Proud Promise”, a book that covers most of the semiauto prototypes developed by the French till 1940. Upon clicking over the first picture, however, I could read the first sentences: it is in fact a Norwegian prototype, demonstrated in France.
  Cheers,
