The Complete Assembly of the Russian Galand Model and Bullet. This comprehensive model is ideal for animating weapon mechanisms, video games, and educational visual aids. Charles-François Galand (1832–1900), a skilled French gunsmith, worked in Liege and Paris, France. He produced numerous revolvers for both civilian and military use, including the Galand Revolver, also known as the Galand-Sommerville or Galand-Perrin, the Tue Tue, and the compact Le Novo. The Velo-dog, developed from the Tue Tue and the Novo, was designed by Charles-François' son René in 1904. The original Galand revolver was a double-action, open frame (no strap across the top of the cylinder) revolver patented in 1868. Military versions were produced in 9 mm while civilian versions were made in 12 mm. The gun is easily recognizable due to its long extraction lever, which stretches under the gun to form the trigger guard. Pulling the lever forward separates the barrel and cylinder from the rest of the gun. At the same time, the extractor plate is blocked, catching any cartridges in the cylinder, thereby extracting them. Despite France's defeat by the Germans, the Galand performed successfully, and the Imperial Russian Navy adopted the Galand model 1870 revolver in 1871.
