JUIN 1940, SUR LES ROUTES DE COTE-D’OR, DE LA DEBACLE A L’EXODE Tome 2

1892, A number whose statement flashes like a standard. It is known to all arms enthusiasts and military history enthusiasts as the one which designates the most advanced revolvers made in France and perhaps in the world.
It is the result of the most in-depth studies carried out by military engineers and the know-how of arsenal workers. It brings together all the technical knowledge acquired between 1870 and 1890 regarding barrel handguns and its design has been optimized to guarantee impeccable operation as well as easy use and maintenance. It was unfortunately accompanied by ammunition of insufficient power and random precision to make it an effective combat weapon. Despite everything, it remains crowned with a glory that an outdated classification in the regulations will not succeed in tarnishing.
This book presents to you in 272 pages and more than 600 photos most of the existing models of this weapon, with a review of its evolution but also its variants. The foreign competition of its time will be discussed as well as its ammunition, without forgetting its shooting tests.
