I always thought they were British "Gary Burgess" and I just so happen to have a pair on my Toei.

Alas, mine are marked Paris as well in this orientation:

GB Paris BTE SGDG.N 121

Ken, I notice from your auction you are a bit puzzled like I am about the G B bar plugs.  The first assumption would be they are Gary Burgess, but th ey are marked Paris.  I have a pair of these on a late 70's/ early 80's R omic touring bike.  I had thought maybe the GB in this case was Gilles Be rthoud, but someone pointed out Gilles would have been a schoolboy when the se plugs were made.  Plus I believe Berthoud is located near Macon, not i n Paris. 

Anyone else know what or who the GB on these plug would stand for?
