d’Armes de Saint-Etienne 1873 (USED)

This antique d’Armes de Saint-Étienne Model 1873 service revolver is a prime 19th-century military sidearm in good overall condition. Chambered in the classic 11x17mmR (11mm French Ordnance) cartridge, this collectible piece features completely matching serial numbers alongside crisp, clearly visible arsenal proof stamps. The original checkered wood grips show honest wear but maintain well-pronounced texturing, while the worn bore still retains strong, distinct rifling. Mechanically, the action is smooth and the cylinder times correctly, though it does exhibit a weak trigger return spring causing the trigger to not reset forward completely on its own.
