In excellent all matching condition, we have a french 1916 dated, St. Etienne made Fusil Mle1907/15 rifle commonly called the Berthier Rifle. This is the WW1 production variant of the French mle1907 Service Rifle and this is the rifle that the US 93rd division which was comprised of African American soldiers carried and fought with during WW1 as they were attached directly to the French Army. This very likely is one of the rifles used by those forces as they were brought home after the war by the soldiers. Most of the Berthier rifles seen on the American collector market were made by Remington and not delivered to France, so finding a real French made Berthier rifle from WW1 in this top condition is a real find. You will notice that this rifle also still has the original sling. With all of the interest in the collecting field with the arms of the Great War, this is a hard to find example of the main French rifle of the war.
