This video explores the three main variations of the Chassepot cavalry carbine, focusing on the markings that indicate their production period and manufacturer. While original paper-cartridge versions are rare, the video highlights examples that have been converted to metallic-cartridge Gras carbines. The discussion details how markings changed from 'Manufacture Imperiale' under the Second Empire to 'St Etienne' and finally 'Manufacture d'Armes' during the Third Republic, based on a recent importation of these historical firearms.
