Here are two twin brothers!!

One is signed “Nagant”, the other “Husqvarna

Nagant

The Nagant N° 802 was sold by Hermann Historica - According to the catalogue of this firm, the meaning of CL is not a Nagant trademark but is as follows: ... Abnahme-Initialen "CL" des schwedische Prüfoffiziers ...; this Nagant is therefore a Swedish ordnance weapon m/87 and not a weapon intended for the civilian market.

It has the characteristic of having the handlebars modified. It is one of the 2600 m/87 revolvers acquired from Nagant by the Swedish Army + 480 M/87 revolvers for the Navy (m/87 for the Army, M/87 for the Navy).

 (m/87 for the army, M/87 for the navy).
