1892 model Spanish revolver

Known in France as the 1892 Spanish revolver, this revolver, produced by Trocaola, Aranzabal and Company, was actually a copy of the Smith & Wesson Military and Police revolver that was created exclusively for the 8 mm French cartridge, for the standard 1892 revolver model used by the French army. To make up for the lack of handguns at the beginning of World War One, France purchased this type of revolver, manufactured in Spain.
This weapon belonged to 2nd class Étienne Gétiaux. Born on April 16, 1876, in Nouvion-sur-Meuse (Ardennes), soldier Gétiaux rose from the 45th territorial infantry regiment to the 309th territorial infantry regiment on January 26, 1916 and was assigned to the camouflage section. On May 23, 1916, a team of camouflage officers, composed of Barrack Master Flameng and the soldiers Baptiste Jean, Émile Morin, Eugène Carré, Émile Carpentier, Hubert Prudhomme, and Étienne Gétiaux, presented themselves to the 13th infantry division who were occupying the sector of the Butte de Souain to the south of Tahure, to position several observation points for the front line. The first part of the work finished, the team headed to the PC of the brigade general, in a place called La Baraque, to request information on the second part of the work to be carried out. The team took the narrow Burton passageway when several high-caliber shells fell just over 100 yards away. A few seconds later, another shell fell and exploded in the trench in the middle of the team. A blast passed through the revolver sheath and tore out part of the trigger and the trigger guard of Étienne Gétiaux's revolver, killing him instantly along with Hubert Prudhomme. Émile Morin, Eugène Carré, and Émile Carpentier were severely injured.
