SOLD FRENCH WWI ERA Mle 1892 “LEBEL” SERVICE REVOLVER, EARLY 1894 PRODUCTION PRE98 ANTIQUE, VERY SHARP!

In 97% mint condition, we have an very top example of an Antique early production 1894 dated French Mle 1892 “Lebel” Service Revolver.  This was the standard French Officer’s Service side arm from 1892 until it began being replaced in 1939 with the new automatic pistol Mle 1935A, however it stayed in frontline Service with the Army well past WWII and well into the 1960’s with the French National Police.  The Pistol was heavily used during the WW2 era by the French Military, the Resistance, and it was also reissued by the Germans who captured vast quantities in 1940. One could think of no better pistol to represent the French Resistance movement during the time of the Nazi Occupation of France.  This is a wonderful example of a French Service pistol at the outbreak of hostilities in 1914 and again in 1939.  This is a pre 1898 production antique firearm so it is exempt from paperwork and can be shipped directly to your home.
