These weapons, and the line of rifles they were made to partner with, were purpose built by the French for a war of revenge against the Prussian German Empire, after having lost the earlier Franko-Prussian war, this war of revenge never wound up happening, but when they were removed from mainline service of the French armed forces, they were sold off to other interested parties around the world. This one in particular, had at some point made itβs way to the Americas and from there, found itβs way into my possession.
