Description:
"Serial no. L25053. Manufactured circa 1916 by Manufacture d'Armes de Saint-Étienne, chambered in 8mm Lebel,18"" round barrel. The bore is bright and shiny with handsome, well-defined rifling noted throughout. The carbine shows multiple arsenal repairs to the stock, adding character and evidence of long military service. The metal has thinned to an attractive grey patina, while factory markings remain sharp and clearly visible on the left side of the receiver. The Model M.16 Berthier carbine was developed during WWI to provide French cavalry, artillery, and support troops with a compact and handy weapon. Examples showing arsenal repairs and honest service wear are tangible reminders of the tremendous demands placed on French arms during the First World War. The action functions correctly.
