From the earliest Tula production no less. I've been after one of these old ones for awhile now. Too bad the top line got removed by the Commies but at least they left the rest. Neat old pistol. I think I'll get out the gear to work up some fresh 7.62 nagant loads. I had a method figured out for reloading Fiocchi last year.

No, I doubt it. It's a rebuild. If it were an intact 100% original 19th century Nagant it would be worth a pretty penny. The communists came in and reblued it and judging from the innards they put in a new mainspring. On the plus side it functions very nicely.

A pity...still pretty freakin' cool to have a Nagant revolver from Czarist Russian days!

What a great piece of history! If it could only talk . . .
