The service revolver model 1873 Chamelot-Delvigne was the first double-action
revolver used by the French Army.
It was produced by Manufacture d'armes de Saint-Étienne from 1873 to 1887 in
about 337,000 copies. It was widely used during the First World War and issued to
reserve units in 1940. The French Resistance made widespread use of it during the
German occupation.

Manufactured in 1880, production was approximately 18000.

Condition is fair with some finish blemishing as shown in pictures.The weapons
themselves were very reliable and resistant to damage.

Excellent engraving and stamped numbers are bright and clear all over the gun.

The Chamelot-Delvigne 11mm Modele 1873 was adopted by the French army as a
service revolver for non-commissioned officers. The Modele 1874 Revolver d'Officier
was the version issued to officers.
The differences between the two models included the following: the 1873 was
finished in the white metal, whereas the 1874 had a fluted cylinder and a blued finish.
The 1873 and 1874 were the first center-fire cartridge revolvers adopted by the
French army. They had solid-frame, side-ejection, double-action mechanisms.
The pistols were manufactured by the St. Etienne arsenal, which still continues to
manufacture fine sporting arms.
