Jacques Trausch was indeed a French manufacturer. The OP's gun is a bit of a oddity. The proofs are definitely German Ulm proofs from 1973, and the gun looks to have had a heavy-duty service life typical of Bud's deals on revolvers in that price range. But I'm pretty well-versed in the history of German police weaponry particularly in the 1970s; departments there don't buy their own guns, it's a state adoption and acquisition, and no German state issued revolvers for regular service at that time (or ever, voluntarily; the post-war Victorys dictated by the occupation powers were a much-resented exception).
So this is either a special order for one of the nascent SWAT-type units that emerged in West Germany after the Olympics disaster of 1972, who could get whatever guns they wanted to try, and did use quite a few revolvers; it could also be from a private security firm; or it could simply have been imported through a German distributor, requiring proofing in the first European country it entered, and then moved on to France; the French grips would support that.
Interesting to contemplate.
