An original 1930 Paul Marteau Grimaud deck sold on ebay today:

I put a bid in but the price went beyond my motivation level. Funnily enough, I have noted that the Editions Dusserre which is a facsimile of the original in the BN has colours that look nothing like this. I also noted the colours of the 1930 copy on the Yale Bernecke web site and they are the same as the deck in the auction, i.e. nothing like the Dusserre colours. I don't know if Dusserre failed to reproduce the colours properly or sexed them up a little or what - I find it hard to believe they are an exact match of the colours of the BN copy.
