FRENCH Antique Model 1837 NAVY Pistol Made at CHATELLERAULT
French Naval Pistol with Belt Hook!
Here we present an antique French Model 1837 Navy Pistol, made circa 1846 at the armory at Chatellerault. The 1837 Model was created by Louis Perrin in 1837 and approved for the French Navy in 1838. 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 primarily by the French marines. 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 .60 caliber. The brass pommel cap is equipped with a lanyard ring. The markings on this pistol are plentiful. The barrel looks to be dated “46”, while the barrel tang has “Mre 1837” engraved. Multiple other proof and acceptance marks can be found throughout.
The overall condition is good. Patina on the metal surfaces with heavy verdigris on the brass hardware. The action is strong and tight. The bore is in good shape for its age. There is a small hairline crack on the left side of the grip which remains stable. “Mr Rl De Chatellerault” is engraved on the lock. Here is a French naval sidearm from the end of the reign of the last French king!
