Colt Model 1892 US Service revolver.
Swiss Ordinance revolver Model 1882
Sweden and Norway used versions of the Nagant similar to the Russian 1895.
Italy used the Bodeo Modello 1889.
Germany was using the Reichsrevolver Model 1879.
Britian had the Webley Mark lll.
France was using the Ordinance revolver Model 1892
Except for the Colt and the Webley, all the guns in use at that time in Europe were based on three basic designs,
The Chamelot-Delvigne
The Schmidt-Galand
The Belgian Nagant.

In 1900 all this changed, quickly.

Germany was using the Reichsrevolver Model 1879.
Actually, I think they'd switched to the Mdl '83 by then:
