Description:
Offered here is a NEAR FINE condition example of the French Model 1874M Chamelot-Delvigne Officer’s Revolver. The gun is complete, correct and period in every way and is 100% original.
The gun revolver’s cylinder differs from the standard Army M1873 to allow it to chamber the Navy’s 11x19R cartridge. The 11x19R cartridge had a larger rim than the 11x17 cartridge and would not fit in the recessed chambers of the M1873 revolver. As a result, the entire rear of the cylinder was recessed, leaving a “rim” around the rear of cylinder to help support the cases and protect the user should one of the cases rupture. The cylinder chambers were also slightly enlarged to accept the 11x19 round.
This revolver was produced in 1880 at the St. Etienne Arsenal as marked on the right side of the octagon barrel S. 1880
The revolver has the matching serial number 27619 throughout. In some cases, the number is only two digits, 19, preceded by the inspection initial B. The gun is very well marked throughout and remains very crisp and sharp, with original finish and has not been rearsenalled.
The top barrel flat is marked in script Mle 1874M, and the lower right side of the frame (below the cylinder) is marked in script in two lines: Mre d’Armes / St. Etienne.
Revolver is tight and functions flawlessly.
