Lot 25 - France, Third Republic (1870-1940). Officer's revolver with central percussion "FAGNUS-MAQUAIRE" system, manufactured by the Manufacture Française d'Armes de Saint Étienne.

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.
