Lt. Richard Nadeau, an officer in the French Vichy Camel Corps, checks his bearings in the vast expanse of the ocean of sand that is the Sahara, while his "ship of the desert" rests before his master's tent.

As an officer he only has his pistol. He is not FFL but Vichy Camel Corps and perhaps in Morocco. His pistol ? MAS 1935A or Modele D'Ordonnance 1882 ?? which were the 2 main pistols used by the French in WWII.

Randy,

Thats right. the instructions for use underneath the 7.5mm MAS36 state
"Always carry overhead when disengaging from enemy" Mike
