Description:
I'm selling my collection. Here is an Antique French Army Ordnance Revolver Model 1892. FFL is not required. It’s chambered in 8mmx27 (Improperly called Lebel). It was manufactured in St Etienne Arsenal Gov. Factory in good shape & working condition, good timing clean chambers, the 4.1/2" barrel with good shinny bore with a light grainy spot with good sharp rifling. The original factory blue finish rates 65%, with tinny spots of pin-pricked surface rust, markings on the barrel are crisp, all others are well defined, the checkered wooden grips are good, all visible on the pictures. The lanyard ring was not removed as it was fashionable after WWI for officer as side arm. This ordnance revolver model 1892 served reliably & successfuly for over 80 years in French Army, Foreign Légion & Navy, these handguns were so well built and are amazingly accurate. It was still in service in the mid 1950s & 60s in Indochina & the Algerian conflict. The ammunitions showed on one of the pictures are not for sale. I described it to the best of my knowledge. What you don't read in the description you might see on the pictures. Please don't ask for extra pictures. Buyer is responsible for knowing all laws pertaining to this transaction. $775 + $55 insured shipping to your door if you are over 21, payable by cashier check, P.M.O or credit card. Please have look on my other pieces. Thank you
