This is an original St. Étienne (Manufacture d’Armes St-Étienne) military rifle modified to Mle 14 specs and chambered for 8mm Lebel.

Mechanisms appear intact from visual inspection; bolt and receiver show matching-style markings in the photos. Condition: G — Good overall for a service rifle of its age; honest finish wear, no major cracks or repairs visible in supplied photos. Bore: GOOD — rifling visible and serviceable. Barrel: ~31" (measured along external length). Sights: original iron sights retained (rear ladder sight present). Action: single-shot/bolt conversion style (M14 conversion). Extras: leather sling included.
