Nagant 1887
These two
revolvers come from the same production run of 2,600, delivered to Sweden in
June 1888. The only difference: No. 802 was received by CL = Christofer LEMCHEN,
and No. 2055 by JB = John Brandt (the two Swedish officers sent to Liège to
inspect and receive the weapons).
The front sight of
the 802 has been modified, so it is no longer original.
But these are
quite rare pieces in this condition!

The NAGANT M.1887
The
NAGANT No. 802 is part of the first production of 2600 revolvers ordered by
Sweden and intended for officers. It was received by one of the two Swedish
officers on site in Liège, Christofer LEMCHEN (CL) and delivered in June 1888.
Particularity of this revolver: the front sight, initially rectangular, was
modified, most likely after its sale on the civilian market.

The M.1887 HUSQVARNA
This
M.1887 No. 2102 produced in Sweden by HUSQVARNA was part of the first delivery
of 5400 copies of this model, delivered in 1898. The entire HUSQVARNA supply
amounted to 13732 copies.
This
weapon was received by Per Theodor BERGSTEN (PTB). The unit mark of this weapon
(L No. 3635) is affixed to the rear of the frame, right side
A part of
the M.1887 revolvers produced by HUSQVARNA in Sweden were also intended for the
civilian market. They then bore the Gothic "H" acronym of the producer.
