**FRENCH CHAUCHAT MODEL 1915 REGISTERED DEWAT IN 8MM LEBEL (C&R). SN 25439. Cal. 8 mm Lebel. 22″ bbl. Chauchut Model 1915 DEWAT with anti-aircraft front and rear sight attachments, bi-pod and one mag included. Marked “SIDARME/C.S.R.G.” on left side receiver. This gun is all orig vintage and apparently matching numbers. Firing mechanism functions smoothly when operated by hand, however weld has been placed into chamber to the extent that the bolt will not close completely. Function test could not be accomplished. This weapon is currently unserviceable. Bolt face has a couple of drops of slag from the welding process on it but looks as though it could be easily put back into serviceable condition. Mag snaps right into place with no problem. CONDITION: Overall finish and appearance is fine. 70% coverage of finish fading to patina especially on mag, some bare metal on bi-pod legs. Wood is in fair to good condition, knob forward of trigger has significant 1-1/2″ out of it near the rear, buttstock has split at the front and has become loose. This could be easily repaired by competent stock man. Otherwise stock has gouges and dings but not bad, especially considering the age. Unable to determine condition of bore due to plug in chamber. This is a nicer conditioned Chauchat than many out there. 4-42490 JWK125 (3,000-6,000)
