I have a copy of Monarch 91016 - Les Deux Grenadiers / Pol Plancon.  The original issue, as much as I've been able to find out, was Gramphone 2-2662.  I tried to find if a copy of the record has ever turned up on ebay, but the closest I was able to find was Monarch 91015, also by Plancon. The Octobeer 2012 auction listing said, in part: "It was recorded in March of 1902, originally issued on G&T #2-2664 and first seen in the US on Victor 5017.  This issue dates from 1904."  My question is, did the person who sold the record misstate the original listing as on Victor?  I was under the impression that the use of the Monarch name was replaced by Victor and that 5017 would have been on Monarch rather than Victor.  ... Based on that seller's listing and the EDVR, the Monarch I have was first issued in the US on either Monarch
