Offered for sale is an 1875 French MAS Model 1873 revolver, a historically significant military sidearm in remarkably well-preserved condition.
This firearm is classified as an antique in Canada, meaning no PAL is required for purchase.
Configuration & Conversion
• Professionally converted to .455 Webley
• Allows use of commercially available .455 Webley ammunition (commonly produced for antique revolvers)
• Solid frame design (non top-break), offering excellent structural rigidity compared to many contemporary revolvers
Condition
• Overall condition is very good for its age
• All serial numbers match except for one minor component
• Mechanically sound with good lock-up
• Bore is exceptional – bright, clean, with strong rifling
(rare to find in this condition on an antique revolver)
• Carefully inspected and well maintained
I have personally test-fired the revolver, and it functions properly.
As with all antique firearms, a check by a qualified gunsmith is recommended prior to regular use.
Notes on Ammunition
This revolver is chambered in .455 Webley and can accommodate appropriate cartridges for this caliber.
Use of properly loaded ammunition suitable for antique firearms is strongly recommended to preserve longevity.
