The Ongoing Mystery Aircraft Thread Part Deux.

Conceived of in 1927. Constructed and tested in late 1928. Languishing in the corner of an aerodrome in 1929.

From a well documented stable.
 
This aircraft is a modified military aircraft that was prepared for a famous Air Cup in another country. Unfortunately, I cannot say how it performed there.
 
Found this as well, answering Uli's question as to how it performed in the Gordon-Bennett. It didn't !

The French team had been chosen in an eliminating trial on Sunday, when the three pilots mentioned above were selected. Barault, on a Borel-Hispano, would probably have secured the third place if he had only flown the course as it was arranged.

From the many different aircraft types of this manufacturer only four were biplanes, two of which remained prototypes and one (not this one) was built in large numbers.
