The Nagant M1895 Revolver is a seven-shot, gas-seal revolver designed and produced by Belgian industrialist Léon Nagant for the Russian Empire. The Nagant M1895 was chambered for a proprietary cartridge,7.62x38R, and featured an unusual "gas-seal" system, in which the cylinder moved forward when the gun was cocked, to close the gap between the cylinder and the barrel, providing a boost to the muzzle velocity ofthe fired projectile and allowing the weapon to be suppressed (an unusual ability for a revolver). This Revolver has all the correct hall markes and is all original in good condition. The revolver comes with theoriginal leather holster and a box of 50 Nagant 7.62mm. This is a Russian issue manufactured in 1912.
