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.
