Model 1873 French Ordinance Revolver

Well folks, I just got this back on a trade so it is up for sale again. Model 1873 French Ordinance revolver made in 1878. All matching numbers and in very good condition. Caliber 11MM. This weapon is quite functional. It is in near new condition mechanically with an almost perfect bore. There is some staining to the outer surfaces. Being that the original cartridges are no longer available you do have to load your own ammo for it. You use 44 cal. shells that you cut to the proper length and then load with black powder replacement powder and either ball or bullet. There are also factory cases available as well as bullets and if you are interested I can tell you where to purchase them.These revolvers have quite an interesting history being used by the French Army and Foreign Legion.
Comes with a brand new Lyman Universal Case Trimmer with 9 pilot multi-pack and a used 44 caliber Lee Case re-sizer. Asking $600.00 plus shipping or will take serious offers. PayPal is fine but add 4% for fees. More pictures upon request.
