Infantry rifle 1763 type, modified for hunting
Infantry rifle. Manufacture Royale à Saint Etienne
Charleville 1763, replaced 1728 type and was used till 1777 and later.
At this period weapons were used during a long time and innovations were rare.
All metal pieces are apparently 250 years old.
Unfortunately wood was reduced to use this rifle for hunting.
When army stopped to use a rifle, civilians used to "recycle" it for hunting.
It is the way many rifles used to be kept in houses.
If this rifle had been in his original condition, price would be around 3000 €.
Functional! But need to be tested if you want to use it with black powder
Weight: 3310 gr, total length 142 cm, canon 102 cm.
Sold as it is.

Les campagnes d'Italie
SPECIAL OFFER LIMITED TO EEC: BUY 2 BOOKS ON STOCK OF EDITIONS QUATUOR AND WE OFFER YOU THE BOOK:
"Napoleon et les Invalides".
Par Patrice COURCELLE et le capitaine de Cugnac.
Dans la continuité de ce qui avait déjà été réalisé concernant les Campagnes Napoléoniennes, il a paru indispensable de revenir sur les deux campagnes d’Italie
Pour ce qui est du récit de ces batailles glorieuses, il a été fait appel à des textes publiés au début du dernier siècle, par des auteurs écrivant dans le cadre des études militaires, puisant aux archives mêmes des services historiques et des dépôts. Felix Bouvier a écrit le texte sur la campagne de 1796 et le capitaine de Cugnac sur celle de 1800. Cependant l'innovation la plus frappante a été de faire appel, pour l’iconographie, à deux très grands artistes:
-
Martinet: les uniformes du premier empire
The publisher named Martinet (or Martinet-Hautecoeur), published during the 19th century a huge number of different kind of uniforms sequels. Napoleon's army was well represented all along the First Empire, a lot of artists and editors represented the Great Army regiments.
The serie the most complete that has been published under the First Empire was the one edited by Martinet, constituted of 339 plates gathered under the title : «Galerie des enfants de mars, offrande à sa Majesté l’Impératrice et Reine».
