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.

weapon also carries the following marks:
