4 level Bohin? Anyone have info or pics?

Re. Bohin questions.

I got this one.
It looks in a great condition.
Hopefully it's the one with the 4 different levels of aggression, but actually, I'll be satisfied with one level of aggression - very high.

Just figured out the text on the sides of the base. (DE TRES PRES means very close and DE PRES means close. COTE means side and LAME means blade.) From what I translated the one Alon666 and I got must be 2 level. If it was 4 level there should be some other indicator or text both edges of each side. Does anyone know for sure or have any pics of the 4 level Bohin?

Here is the one I received a couple days ago.

To my knowledge all Bohin are the same and not necessarily intended to have “4 levels” of aggression. There is the reversible baseplate which gives two, the blade is actually pretty sloppy and requires some care to align properly, I suppose if you push alignment to one side or the other, it would have additional levels of aggression...

Very nice set you have there. I just picked up a similar set in a green box.

I wonder if the old French blades fit with less play. I don't believe I have any but if another member does perhaps they will do a test for us.

Beautiful score. Congratulations!
