Description:
FRENCH Antique Model 1822 T-Bis MARINE Pistol
Anchor Marked & “1860” Dated
Here we present an antique French Model 1822 T-Bis Marine Pistol, made circa 1860 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 ramrod has a built-in powder measure and is retained by the stock via the threaded end of the rod.
The markings on this pistol are plentiful. The lock is marked “Mre. Impale. de/Chatellerault”. The barrel is dated “C 1860”. The left side of the barrel is proof marked “C de 17 C” and “N/A”. Multiple other proof and acceptance marks can be found throughout. The barrel tang is marked “Mle. 1822 T Bis”. The number “1774” is an assembly number found throughout. An anchor is marked into the brass pommel cap.
The overall condition is fine. The finish is bright underneath a bit of old oil that has darkened with age. The markings are clear and legible. The bore is excellent with sharp rifling and shiny surfaces. The stock is in fine condition with no damage. The action on this pistol is excellent. Here is a fantastic example of a French Model 1822 Marine’s Pistol!
