Description

In mint unissued condition, we have a French WW1 Mle 1907-15 Berthier Service Rifle as Made by Remington Arms in 1916.  The rifle is in mint  condition and was part of a cancelled contract for these rifles that Remington had with the French Government during WW1.  The story of Remington’s attempts to arm the allies during WW1 is that they bit off more than they could chew.  They were slow in delivery of these rifles to the French and the contract was cancelled.  Only 10,000-20,000 were produced and only around half of those rifles ever actually made it to France and this one did not.  None the less it is a mint crisp like new example of the Famous French WW1 service rifle and many of them ended up in the hands French Foreign Legion.  This is a great rifle for the WW1 collector.
