Description
9/22/26 - This is a Belgian-made Swedish-contract M1887 Service revolver. The revolver was designed by Leon Nagant in Belgium and manufactured during the end of the 19th Century. The design is similar to other revolvers of the period, bearing a resemblance to the French MAS 1873 lineage in form, though in this case the ejector rod is stored inside the cylinder arbor pin, like some British revolvers of the time. The design works in both Double and Single action, though it did have some deficiencies that were later rectified. The revolver is further marked on the right side of the frame with L No 7945 / A, which is a Landstormen rack number, added years after the revolver was manufactured. These numbers have no relation to the serial number, simply where and when they were cataloged years after being made. This one is all matching and has retained roughly 65-70% of its original finish. There are areas of honest spotty wear, spots of oxidation, and areas of pitting throughout. Fitted with very nice checkered grips. Excellent bore with strong rifling. Fully functional. No FFL required.
