Description:
C1900 French ST. ETIENNE Model 1892 NAVY Revolver C&R 8mm LEBEL Great War
French MILITARY SERVICE Revolver
Here we present a C&R French Model 1892 Navy Revolver, made circa 1900 at St. Etienne, France. The Model 1892 was the standard issue sidearm for officers in the French military during the First World War. The Model 1892 revolver is a solid frame revolver with the cylinder on a separate frame swinging right for manual reloading. It was first fielded in 1893 and was prominent among French military officers and then later, the French police until the mid-1960s.
Though it was originally designed to serve as a commissioned officer's personal sidearm, over 350,000 Model 1892 revolvers were manufactured between 1892 and 1924. It was issued in the French Army, French Navy, and French Gendarmerie, amongst others. It is commonly called a "Lebel revolver" after the name of Colonel Nicolas Lebel, although it is unclear if Lebel had any involvement in the creation of the gun or its ammunition. Non-commissioned officers continued to carry the older Mle 1873 service revolver, but were also frequently issued .32 ACP automatic pistols (the Ruby pistol) during World War I. The Mle 1892 was later officially replaced by semi-automatic pistols in 1935 but many saw service during World War II and were brought to the United States as souvenirs.
This one has the anchor marking of the French Navy at the bottom of the grip frame. Dated 1900.
