Just was texted these pics from a friend. It is something he is looking at, so I haven't seen it in person. Looks like a M1985 to me, but old revolvers aren't my bag. uploadfromtaptalk1359734977918.jpguploadfromtaptalk1359734986322.jpguploadfromtaptalk1359734997563.jpg

Actually, I think it's an 1874 model. See fluted cylinder and blued finish.

I can positively tell you, "YES" that is a gun
Actually you are correct. I fell in love with those after the movie The Mummy and someday I will have a matched pair with the rig they had in the movie.

I was trying to google The Mummy's firearms list when you posted that. That's how I know of the 1873s myself...

Knitepoet beat me to it, but I'll take it a step further: it's a revolver.

Thanks guys.
One final question, is this considered an assault revolver?

It's French, so.. no. It's a retreat revolver.

Since its French do you reload it with whale vomit? Just checking. When the Germans arrived in Paris during WWII the French asked, Table for 100,000?Later,

Recoil is how you know primer ignition is complete.
I always pictured a French gun being like the old slap stick cartoon guns. You know when you pull the trigger a flag pops out of the muzzle that says "BANG". Except the French ones just had a blank white flag....

Heavens no! If the person you're surrendering to is too close, you might poke him with the flag and start a fight!

Well, it does have a pistol grip. But it only holds 6 rounds. Add a flash hider or barrel shroud and yes, it would be an assualt revolver.

Anyway is your friend buying the gun or what???
