You will enjoy this book if into FrenchRifles. see my SRF post French military rifle book reprint - Surplus Rifle Forum - www.surplusrifleforum.org
Go to pages 252-253 production figures for the 1892 Artillery carbine . B 79,776. 1914 is B71,104- B83,000 Chatellerault production approx 11,9000 production that year. Best buy the book before it goes out of print again. It is the one reference to have. Fantastic. The cartouche is unknown to me. there are more of the big time French collectors on Gunboards. I would also post this rifle there. A nice find.
I assume you know of tis old info-pics gone due to photo bucket pay to play...
