No idea also. Youre best speaking with the french chippers, @semsallem perhaps?. They seem to know the most about their history.
Yet another tournament breakdown question (with a twist) (1 Viewer)
- Thread starter Windwalker
- Start date
I can’t tell you the exact manufacture date, but the whole club was redesigned in 2007, and although it’s hard to find any WPT Grand Prix de Paris videos from 2007-2009, videos from 2006 show they used cheap, generic plastics, and by 2010 the videos showed the Paulson ACF chips being used there. So I’d assume around early-mid 2007, as the tournaments took place in June and that’s when the redesign happened.
They kept using them until 2014, at which point the club was raided and liquidated, and I think the chips were purchased by @semsallem and @<°)))><) in 2015. They probably know the specifics better, though.
Definitely used in 2012 for multiple WPT events. Found this video a WPT final table using your epic chips.
Edit: Definitely season 11 and 12. 2011 2012.
holy shit @Windwalker Krish, amazing. If you consider relabeling , I hope you are just thinking label over, vs inlay replacement. I would keep the 10k in play if you can't find more 5k , to have more of a wsop breakdown on the 50k starting stacks. Looking forward to the west coast meet up 
And, create a 100k plaque to be closer to the real deal, didn't the casino use a plaque for 100k, I think it would be perfect
Shoot first ask questions later eh?
One question I do have about the ACF, is are they leaded? I always wondered.
The youtube page entitled "Aviation Club de France Casino History!" shows very nice video of these chips, including them being used in 2012, but nothing earlier.

But instead of relabeling, you could have new chips made at Alibaba:
I agree with @ovo, if you want to stay accurate to the set while being able to run high roller starting stack tournaments you could get 100k and 1m plaques made by Abbiati. They’re the closest thing to B&G plaques, and you can get the lunettes and gold filament laced into the surface, just like the actual plaques.
Just for fun I plugged your chip totals into my own tourney spreadsheet.
Five tables of 9 players each with 500 BBs and up to 90 rebuys. Plenty of bigger denoms left for color-ups.
The chip counts per denom are a little unorthodox given I wanted to maximize the use of your 100's since you had so many more of them.

I don’t believe they are, since they were most likely made between 2007 and 2012.
Holy fukme. Very nice, Krish.
I would def go for high-denom plaques vs label-overs.
BTW, these are potentially the sexiest pics of a set that I've ever seen....
