LEBEL FRENCH MODEL 1892 LEBEL REVOVLER

IN 95% ALL MATCHING ORIGINAL CONDITION, WE HAVE A VERY DECENT EXAMPLE OF AFRENCH MODEL 1892 LEBEL REVOLVER. THIS IS A FANTASTIC FRENCH WW1 COLLECTABLE .  THIS MAY BE A OFFICER PRIVATE PURCHASE MODEL AS THE BARREL IS NOT DATED, HOWEVER THIS IS A MILITARY PROOFED REVOLVER.  THERE IS A MODEL CIVILE, HOWEVER THIS EXAMPLE WAS PRODUCED AT THE FRENCH STATE ARSENAL AT ST ETIENNE AND WAS NOT COMMERICALLY MANUFACTURED, AS WERE THE CIVILE MODELS.   THESE REVOLVERS WERE THE MAIN FRENCH SIDE ARM OF WW1 AND WERE HEAVILY USED IN WW2 AS WELL BOTH BY THE GERMANS WHO CAPTURED THEM AND THE FRENCH RESISTANCE.  THIS  IS A VERY NICE EXAMPLE OF THE FAMOUS FRENCH REVOLVER OF BEAU GESTE FAME.
