U is for Unknown

Can any one tell me what the following means, or what company used this marking on its products?

BTES.G.D.G

This is on the draw-bar of a weastern stage coach with copies of the Ajax/Beton/Tudor*Rose hollow horse?

    Hello,
    In French :
    BTES = Brevetés (invention ou procédé ayant un brevet déposé)
    SGDG =
    Sans
    Garantie
    Du
    Gouvernement
    Mention légale dégageant la responsabilité de l'Etat.
    It's not a Trade Mark but a legal mention after the trade mark !
    Best Regards,
    Jay

    Hello,
    Sorry, I've forgotten the translation of
    brevetés = patented
    and
    SGDG = "Without Government's Guaranty"
    best regards,
    Jay

    Thank's, so it's like "Patent Applied For" [but not yet granted!!], so we now have an unknown French firm using the same horse as Ajax/Archer/Lido/T.Cohn(Superior)/Beton (Bergen)/Airfix/Tudor-Rose/Kleeware/Riesler and Reamsa...that seem's to be clear!!!! Thanks again Anon..Hugh.
