Item No.: 9805 Price : SOLD
Item : ANTIQUE FRENCH BERTHIER MODEL 1892 ARTILLERY MUSKETOON, 8X50R
Description :
Here is an original, French Berthier Model 1892 Artillery Musketoon manufactured at St. Etienne in 1895. It is in its original, unmodified configuration with all matching parts. It is chambered for the 8x50mm Rimmed cartridge (8mm Lebel). The Berthier design was much easier to reload on horseback than was the Lebel with its tubular magazine. This musketoon is in very fine condition with all matching numbers. It retains about 90% of its original factory blued finish. There is some light finish wear at the muzzle. There is some light surface rust on the butt plate and it is turning brown. The lower barrel band is a smooth brown. The bore and mechanics are excellent. The stock is in fine condition with a scattering of small dings from use. There is a crisp inspector's cartouche dated "Octobre 1895". C'est Francais! A matching Berthier musketoon of this era that hasn't been modified is a scarce item! Stock no. 27620
