Antique WORLD WAR I & II French ST. ETIENNE Model 1892 8mm LEBEL Revolver
1893 Dated French MILITARY SERVICE Revolver
Description: Antique WORLD WAR I & II French ST. ETIENNE Model 1892 8mm LEBEL Revolver 1893 Dated French MILITARY SERVICE Revolver Here we present an antique French Model 1892 Revolver, made in 1893 at the armory at St. Etienne, France. The Model 1892 was the standard issue sidearm for officers in the French military during the First World War. The Model 1892 revolver is a solid frame revolver with the cylinder on a separate frame swinging right for manual reloading. It was first fielded in 1893 and was prominent among French military officers and then later, the French police until the mid-1960s. Though it was originally designed to serve as a commissioned officer's personal sidearm, over 350,000 Model 1892 revolvers were manufactured between 1892 and 1924. It was issued in the French Army, French Navy, and French Gendarmerie, amongst others. It is commonly called a "Lebel revolver" after the name of Colonel Nicolas Lebel, although it is unclear if Lebel had any involvement in the creation of the gun or its ammunition. Non-commissioned officers continued to carry the older Mle 1873 service revolver, but were also frequently issued .32 ACP automatic pistols (the Ruby pistol) during World War I. The Mle 1892 was later officially replaced by semi-automatic pistols in 1935 but many saw service during World War II and were brought to the United States as souvenirs. The overall condition is near fine. Excellent action. Bright bore with nice rifling. Legible markings. The grip is in fine shape with sharp checkering. “S 1893” dated. This firearm is classified as a Curio & Relic. Barrel is 4-5/8 inches. Caliber: 8mm Lebel Overall condition as seen in photos. Very Fast. Very Safe. FREE SHIPPING. Will need to be sent to your local FFL or C&R licensee. This firearm is classified as a Curio & Relic. Guaranteed AUTHENTIC & Includes CERTIFICATE OF AUTHENTICITY. ancestryguns $1525 #217521 SOLD Curio/Relic: Yes |
