French 1874 Officer's Revolver, 45/455, Antique Status

French Model 1874 Officer's Revolver, manufactured in 1879. 4.5" barrel, 6 shot, all serial numbers match. These 1874's are much scarcer than the Model 1873 as production was around 36,000 vs 330,000+ for the 1873 Model. This revolvers cylinder has been reamed at some point to accept 45ACP handloads and 455 Webley. This was a common practice as original French 11mm ammo was hard to find post 1940. All French 1873/1874 revolvers in original 11mm, 45 or 455 are deemed antique status in Canada, no PAL required to purchase or own. Will include an RCMP FRT printout showing antique status in. The action on this piece functions excellent in single and double action. Timing and lockup are great. Bore and cylinder walls show age related wear. Original grips in good shape, lanyard ring is intact. Exterior finish is worn and there's light pitting. Forcing cone had a recess intentionally put on each side to allow for longer lead tip bullets, mainly the 45 ones as the 455 wouldnt need it. Overall a great solid harder to find Model 1874! $2125 includes Free Shipping. If you have any questions or need more pictures or video please feel free to ask.
