Looks like a Famas Model 1884 to me
>>
Yep it is a Famas Model 1884
>>
Wow, thanks for the info. Any idea on the value and rarity?
>>

They were produced in small numbers and were largely used by Parisian Police in the late 19th century.
Others went into service with the French army during WW1 and were used by cavalry officers.

I think a few hundred were exported to the U.S too.

I concur; it is most likely a Famas m1884

It was a french colony so that makes sense that its a Famas m1884
>>
>>31114387
Yep, this.
>>
>>31114205
Is that a famas
>>
>>31114399
Yes.
A Famas Modèle 1884 to be precise.
>>
>>31114205
By looking at the small horse logo on the grip, I am definitely going to say it is the Famas Model m1884v2 as the original, or v1, had a small bird design with a large R in it.

Is this whole thread troll or just the responses?

>>31115415
Yes

OP it's definitely a Famas. I would know, my grandpappy shot a britbong with one back in the french/indian war and I have the gun now.
