France.
Second Empire.
Very good condition, very light marks on the wood.
NOTE:
During the Franco-Prussian War of 1870-1871, the army resorted to private suppliers to purchase weapons. Under the Third Republic, the weapons that were still usable were examined and marked by the Arms Commission of the 1870/71 trade, serial numbered in series X. This series was created in 1872 for weapons intended for theoretical instruction.
The weapons not retained in the test and withdrawn from service were downgraded and assigned as theoretical weapons, numbered X 1 to 20000 for Châtellerault, X 20001 to 40000 for St Etienne, and X 40001 to 60000 for Tulle.
These manufacturers ensure refurbishment before the weapons are distributed for use within the military units.
