'''''The Seventh Company Outdoors''''' (''La 7ème compagnie au clair de lune''; literally "The Seventh Company in moonlight") is a 1977 French war comedy directed by Robert Lamoureux. The movie is the third and last part of ''The Seventh Company'', following ''[[Now Where Did the 7th Company Get To? (Mais où est donc passée la 7ème compagnie?)]]'' (1973) and ''[[The Seventh Company Has Been Found (On a retrouvé la 7ème compagnie!)]]''. The story is set in 1942 in Nazi-occupied France. Chaudard ([[Pierre Mondy]]) returns to his native town and after some time is visited by his former comrades-in-arms, Pitivier ([[Jean Lefebvre]]) and Tassin ([[Henri Guybet]]). The trio, together with Chaudard's wife Suzanne (Patricia Karim) and her brother Gaston Gorgeton ([[Gerard Jugnot]]), find themselves involved in activities of local Resistance, headed by Maj. Gilles (Gerard Herold).

= Revolvers =
== MAS Mle 1892 ==
[[Mle 1892 Revolver]] is seen in hands of Lambert's agent Francis ([[Jean-François Dérec]]) during the raid on haberdashery shop, the owner of which is suspected in connection with the Resistance.

== Unidentified revolver ==
A revolver is seen in hands of another Lambert's agent in abovementioned scene. This gun looks somewhat similar to [[Smith & Wesson#Revolvers|Smith & Wesson]] models with barrel about 3" but the ejector rod is definitly free-standing, without the under-barrel latch. Such feature is common for pre-1902 [[Smith & Wesson Military & Police|1st model of Military & Police]] and some of its Spanish clones (Spanish produced version of M&P in French 8mm caliber were purchased by France during WW1).
[[Image:HA-537.jpg|thumb|none|300px|For comparison: Smith & Wesson Model of 1899 M&P (1899-1902) - .38 Special. The screen gun has similar free-standing ejector rod and front sight but the barrel is about 3"]]

== Unique Model 17 ==
In the scene in abandoned chapel Henri ([[Francis Lemaire]]), a participant of Resistance, draws a pistol. The gun is seen too blurry due to fast motion but a [[Unique Model 17]] seems to be a decent guess.
