I've been looking for a WWI French Army Contract piece and found this one I decided to grab it before it disappeared, they seem to be rather hard to come by even with them making 40,000 (no way to know how many are actually made it to the states), especially in decent shape as they were purchased from 1915-1917 and used in the Great War. I'm don't normally purchase pistol with any level of pitting, this one has some but I guess for what it is and at the price of 495.00 I shouldn’t expect it to be a 98% piece. The dealer rated it at 80 with some pitting on the left sides and light barrel pitting.
Dealer Description:
32 ACP; 80% blue, fair bore, good grips, 3.75'' barrel, Original bright blue finish and checkered hard rubber grips. Fixed sights. Original factory magazine. Lanyard ring on the grip frame butt. Dull finish on the grip straps with some surface spotting and areas of pitting on the left side of the frame and barrel. Mechanically fine. The bore has some pitting. C&R/FFL, s/n 1641xx
