Purchase raffle. Conscription is institutionalized in France in 1798 at the General initiativedu JOURDAN. From 1804 to 1903, conscripts are invited to get their assignment after a draw. Initially, the draw determines who goes and who does not leave, the lowest numbers being deemed "fit for service." In 1872, the function of the draw is changed: the lowest numbers are a five-year service, the other only one year. In 1889, the length of service is set for all three years, the numbers now to determine the weapon station. Very good condition. Dimensions: 25 x 25
