Serial no. G37956. Manufactured in 1899, chambered in 8x27mmR Lebel, 4¾" octagonal barrel. Bore shows scattered frosting and oxidation with rifling remaining visible. Approximately 75% of the original blue finish remains, while the factory markings remain sharp and well-defined. Checkered wooden grips have had a coat of varnish applied and remain in good overall condition.
