FRENCH Antique Model 1822 T-Bis MILITARY Pistol
Description: FRENCH Antique Model 1822 T-Bis MILITARY Pistol French Proofed & “1856” Dated Here we present an antique French Model 1822 T-Bis Military Pistol, made circa 1856 at the armory at Chatellerault. The arsenal produced arms such as swords from medieval times to 1816, when it became a primary French firearms production facility. It produced arms all the way through the World Wars and finally closed in 1968.This pistol was built new in the percussion format, while many of its predecessors had been built as flintlocks before being converted to percussion. It was used by cavalry and marines alike. This pistol is very likely to have seen action in any of France’s many colonies during this period. Other significant conflicts include the Second French Intervention in Mexico as well as the Franco-Prussian War. The pistol is of robust construction with lots of brass for support. The bore is a substantial .69 caliber. The brass pommel cap is equipped with a lanyard ring. The markings on this pistol are plentiful. The lock is marked “Mre. Impale. de/Chatellerault”. The barrel is dated “C 1856”. The left side of the barrel is proof marked “C de 17-6 N” & “M” and “L”. Multiple other proof and acceptance marks can be found throughout. The barrel tang is marked “Mle. 1822 T Bis”. The number “1614” is an assembly number found throughout. The left side of the stock is marked “TULLE”, another French arsenal, so this one went back at some point for repair or refurbishment. The overall condition is good. The metal surfaces have a gray patina. The markings are clear. The stock shows much use and remains solid. The bore is in good shape with clear rifling. The action is strong. The percussion nipple was broken off long ago and some old solder remains where someone tried to fasten something. Overall, a neat piece of history! Own the original! This is a legitimate antique and not a reproduction. Barrel is 8 inches. Caliber: .69 Overall condition as seen in photos. Very Fast. Very Safe. FREE SHIPPING WORLDWIDE. Delivered directly to your door by express mail! Guaranteed AUTHENTIC & Includes CERTIFICATE OF AUTHENTICITY. ancestryguns $850 #8067 SOLD Antique: Yes |
