Two new French classic additions.

[Anzac15]

Got these over the weekend...an 1886/93 Lebel with bayonet brought back from Afghanistan, and a 1907/15 Berthier. Both are St Eteinne. The Afghan example is in remarkably good condition, but I do not think the 1888 date on the barrel is the correct one, may have been remarked in order for it to be brought back. Certainly looks as though the roundel on the butt has been messed with. Otherwise it seems to be all matching, as is the Berthier. Also there appears to be some Arabic script on the buttplate of the Lebel. The Berthier sports the night sights. Thought you guys might like to have a look!
