Description

Consignment – Antique MAS French 1873 Revolver 11mm French Ord, VERY GOOD

The 1873 Chamelot-Delvigne was the first double-action revolver used by the French Army. Produced by Manufacture d’armes de Saint-Étienne from 1873 to 1887, it was eventually replaced by the Modele 1892 revolver. Despite this, it saw extensive use during World War I and was issued to reserve units in 1940. The French Resistance also made significant use of it during the Occupation. Both the 1873 and the 1874 models utilized the 11mm cartridge and the revolvers themselves were noted for their reliability and resistance.
