In 97% mint condition, and all matching, we have an very top example of the French Model 1892 “Lebel” service revolver. This was the standard French officer’s Service side arm from 1892 until it began being replaced in 1935 with the new automatic pistol of that year, however it stayed in Service 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 1939.
