Some of the most beautiful work of this craftsman, and many others, are in this book “Liège Gunmakers through their Work. 1800 - 1950”.

NAGANT 9mm (prototype ?)
First
option:
From 1871
until 1897 Sweden used the Lefaucheux revolver, but in the following years tests
were carried out with different weapons including some Nagant revolvers.
Second
option:
There
were quite a few tests and variants of the 1895 for the Russians, a total of 48
variants, most of which did not leave the drawing board, or remained at the
prototype stage. The Russians were boring about that, they did the same with the
S&W 3rd Model in the 1870s. But as long as they paid for their fantasies, it
wasn’t a problem. This new weapon is perhaps one of those aborted tests; and if
so, very interesting for the collector.
