THIS IS AN ANTIQUE AND NO C&R IS REQUIRED. IN 95% ORIGINAL CONDITION, WE HAVE A VERY HARD TO FIND EMILE NAGANT, BELGIUM MANUFACTURED MODEL 1893 NORWEGIAN NAGANT SERVICE REVOLVER THAT WAS DELIVERED TO THE NORWEGIANS ON DEC 20, 1897, THUS MAKING IT AN ANTIQUE.
THE 1893 NORWEGIAN REVOLVER WAS VERY SIMILAR TO THE SWEDISH MODEL EXCEPT THE FRONT SIGHT WAS CLIPPED LIKE THAT OF THE RUSSIAN MODEL. THEY USE THE SAME AMMUNITION. THESE NORWEGIAN NAGANTS ARE RARELY SEEN ARE HIGHLY SOUGHT AFTER BY BOTH NAGANT REVOLVER BUFFS AND NORWEGIAN MILITARY COLLECTORS. THIS IS AN ALL MATCHING EXAMPLE WITH AN EXCELLENT BORE.

THIS IS A REAL FIND AS THE NORWEGIAN EXAMPLES RARELY ARE SEEN & NEVER SEEN THIS COMPLETE! PRE 1898 ANTIQUE NO PAPERWORK REQUIRED FOR PURCHASE
