1892 French Revolver

The two sides of the 1873 Chamelot Delvigne holster. With the 1873 it's the first time a holster is included in the soldier gear. If the evolution betwenn the 1873 and the 1892 is very important the holster remains very similar. Even if the 1892 is longer and slimmer than its ancestor.
The hoslter is very resistant and very good quality. The main problem is that its so much surrounds the gun that grasping it becomes difficult in combat conditions. Reglementarally worned on the right the holster slightly moves during times to the center for obvious comfort reasons.


Artilleur monté du 41ème régiment d'artillerie de campagne 1915. The holster is worned reglementary on the right side.
