FRENCH COLONIAL TAHITI Antique Model 1822 T-Bis MILITARY Pistol POLYNESIA
With April 1962 Letter from the Musée De Papeete Letter
Here we present an antique Documented French Model 1822 T-Bis Military Pistol, made circa 1822 at the Mutzig Arsenal. Included with this pistol is a letter from the Musée de Papeete in Tahiti authenticating the pistol had been part of the arsenal for the French garrison on Tahiti and were given to the museum after being declared obsolete and were then sold in 1960.This pistol was used by cavalry and marines alike. This pistol saw service in Tahiti, as others did in France’s various colonies throughout the world.
The Mutzig Arsenal, also known as the Impériale de Mutzig, is in the French town of Mutzig and is located in the Château des Rohan (The Castle of Rohan). The castle's history dates back to the 13th century, and after the French revolution, it became a small arms factory, as the castle was disowned by the Rohan family and pillaged during the conflict. In 1799, it was bought by the arms manufacturers, brothers Coulaux of Klingenthal, Bas-Rhin, who, on April 20, 1801, opened their weapons factory in its walls. It was at this factory that a native of Mutzig, Antoine Alphonse Chassepot, fabricated some of his famous rifles, one of the most advanced firearms of its time.
