8/12/19 - This is a very early example (sn 167) of a Swedish contract Nagant revolver, in excellent original condition, retaining around 95-97% of its original blue. Initially, Swedish army procured the Nagant revolvers directly from Belgium, before arranging for domestic production at the Hasqvarna factory in Sweden. Just a few hundred of these early guns were sold to Sweden and this one is all original with unit marking on the right side of the frame. The bluing is outstanding with just minor wear on the cylinder and trigger guard. The small parts have vivid straw and fire blue colors. Excellent bore. Made in the early 1890s and is an antique. A very desirable, low serial number early Nagant revolver.
