France, Third Republic (1870-1940). Officer's revolver with central percussion "FAGNUS-MAQUAIRE" system, manufactured by the Manufacture Française d'Armes de Saint Étienne. Cal. 9 mm. 6 shots. Serial no. "14375". All metal parts bronzed and white polished. Fluted barrel, rifled, maker's markings on upper side "MRE FSE D'ARMES ST ETIENNE", lower side on left side marked "ACIER FONDU" and numbered "14375". The barrel is stamped "Manufacture Française d'Armes de Saint Étienne" on the outside of one chamber and "Z" under the star on the perimeter of the chambers on the loading side. On the left-hand side, the mechanism's cover plate is removable, opening by means of a pedal placed laterally. Finely checkered walnut stock plates and cap with stock ring. Functional single- and double-action mechanism, with a clean, play-free cocking notch. Clean barrel interior with good scratches. Complete. 24.5 cm (barrel 12 cm). (Not common, gun re-tanned, very fine action, small "crack" and slight blistering at the manufacturer's mark on the upper barrel, good condition). Note: the "Fagnus" revolver, often mistakenly referred to as the "Maquaire" revolver, is an evolution of the 1874 model officer's revolver by the Belgian arms manufacturer Alexandre FAGNUS, inspired by the Chamelot-Delvigne 1873, who registered several patents for this model between 1873 and December 1876. In 1887, the Parisian gunsmith Amédée MAQUAIRE presented this revolver to the Versailles permanent commission, during tests to replace the 1873 and 1874 revolvers, and it was ultimately rejected. The Fagnus-Maquaire revolver was made both in France (notably Saint Étienne) and Belgium (Liège). From 1890 onwards, this revolver was offered for sale in the catalog of the Manufacture d'Armes de St Étienne, equipping a large number of reserve officers and, indeed, serving in the Great War. Classified as category "D" under decree no. 2023-557 of July 3, 2023, it is free to acquire and hold.
