Here is an almost original 1894 chatellerault contract M91. It’s in surprisingly good condition.

Leave it as it is. The ages have been at work on it and man can only mar it.
Don't hit at all if it is honorably possible to avoid hitting; but never hit soft.

That is special! You need to return it to me, my other name is John Higgins and that is my mark on the port side.

I have an 1895 Chatellerault in about the same shape. I slugged the bore and came up with .311 inch. It is a Finn rifle. When I get home in a little over a month, I'll post pics of the markings. Very sweet shooting rifle as well.

Paid $39.00 for it in the early 1990's.

Wow.... $39!! I regret not buying a dozen of those back then. And if someone offered you ten times what you paid today it would be an insult. I still need one myself... Maybe one day. :wink:
