French Engraved Manufrance, Model 28, Armee Pistole, 7478, A-1702

Description:
Description:
Standard configuration Type Armee, Model 1928 in 9mmBL, with 5” finned barrel having fixed front and rear sight. Unique flip barrel. Double action only mechanism with correct magazine made to hold spare cartridge at the base. Top of slide marked “Le Francais” in a small oval. Model notation “Type Armee” on the left side of the slide with manufacturer “MANUFACTURE FRANCAISE D-ARMES ET CYCLES DE SAINT-ETIENNE” on the right side of the slide. Factory engraved with light, tasteful scroll over many surfaces as carefully photographed, another example with identical engraving pictured in the book ‘Handguns of the World” by Edward Ezell. Major parts rust blued with beautifully case hardened trigger and release lever. European walnut checkered panels whose inserted discs retain the internally securing parts. Matching magazine with release at base numbered “7478” having seven indicator holes and spring loaded sleeve for spare cartridge.

Synopsis:
Super scarce and RARE French Manufrance M1928 LeFrancais, FACTORY ENGRAVED, with finned barrel and matching magazine.

Condition:
At least 97% bright original rust blue with sharp edge wear and slight fading as one might expect from a pistol that has seen light use. Comparable condition case hardened parts with early fading. Crips grips with sharp checkering, the right panel having a hairline crack extending from the forward edge. Magazine with usual insertional wear. Bright bore with strong rifling. Perfect manual mechanics. The rarest and most desirable of all the big LeFrancais Armee Pistoles, only the fourth this reviewer has seen in 30+ years, sure to please the most advanced collector!

Buyer to add $140 in insured, 2nd day FedEx shipping.
