Chatellerault 1907-15 Berthier rifle
By: racerguy00 Date: September 24, 2014, 7:54 pm
---------------------------------------------------------
I did a little horse trading and was able to score this Berthier
1907-15 rifle for very little cash outlay. I'm just getting into
French WW1 arms and learning as I go. I knew this would be a
good compliment to my Turkish Forestry Carbine. Ironically I
found a Berthier Model 1890 carbine at a yard sale on the way to
pick this rifle up. The sale was closing down, and I didn't have
enough cash to grab both, but I have the seller's number. I
wouldn't mind having all three.
A few collectors far more knowledgeable that I say that it is
fairly unusual as far as French rifles go in that it's sporting
some trench art/graffiti. No Import marks, mismatched bolt.
Stock has no visible serial numbers, and the barrel has no date.
The receiver is odd in that the markings originally read 1907-15
Chatty, then they were apparently scrubbed at one point and
flipped around to read Chatty 1907-15. I'm not sure why that was
done. The stock is well worn, but solid with no cracks. There is
no N update stamp. I did find a Circle K stamp that looks
similar to the Russian mosin point-of-aim stamp. The bore is
really good too. Any feedback is appreciated!
