Nagant

It is of course about a revolver NAGANT which I think of being of Serbe model, the rectangular front sight is specific (also on the Swedish model). The rifled bore is with sides and the alveolus cylinder. The grips are in walnut squared maintained by a central screw and two rivet washers with ears.

This revolver is in calibre 7,5 mm Nagant with six shots. The door of load is of type Abadie, it makes it possible to neutralize the use of the hammer when it is in open position. A simple pressure on the trigger makes it possible to make turn the cylinder, returning the operations of easier loading/unloading.

The weapon carries the lawful punches of the proofhouse of LIEGE, namely:

ELG* in a crowned oval: final acceptance post 1893.

R crowned: rifled bore, of use of 1894 to 1968.

B *: countermark of the controller post 1877.

The weapon also carries the following marks:

Patent NAGANT 5354: mark manufacturing NAGANT in LIEGE.

4089: serial number.
