Hi, Harry! Mine is dated 1914 on the barrel, so it's definitely WWI vintage. It shoots nicely, but the ammunition for it is very expensive, so I probably won't be shooting it anymore. The design is very interesting - if you unscrew the large screw at the spur on the backstrap ( it won't come out, so it can't get lost ), the frame opens up in a "butterfly" fashion, exposing the internal springs. Although they were replaced by an automatic pistol by WWII, they were still carried as a service arm in the French army. I'd LOVE to know where this one was post-1940 to get its odd "holster"!
