Nagant 1893
This Norwegian Nagant M.1893, according to the serial number, comes from a June 1899 delivery. The total number of M.1893s supplied by Nagant is approximately 12,850.
It was
received by Nandrup. A distinctive feature of some of the later deliveries is
that the manufacturer's and acceptance marks are applied vertically.
The "lion
with axe, walking to the left" proof mark is a Norwegian mark known from pinfire
revolvers, but one I have never seen on an M.1893.
Yet another rarity.
