Description:
RUSSIAN WWII Soviet NAGANT M1895 IZHEVSK Arsenal Revolver EASTERN FRONT   

WORLD WAR II Nagant Revolver Made in 1944 w/HOLSTER

Here we present a C&R Soviet Russian Nagant Model 1895 Revolver made at the Izhevsk Arsenal in Russia, circa 1944. Izhevsk Mechanical Plant was a major firearms manufacturer founded in Izhevsk in 1942 for manufacturing small arms. This was the primary sidearm of the Soviet Union during the Second World War. This one bears the Izhevsk Arsenal mark and a date of 1944.

This is a seven shot revolver chambered for 7.62x38mmR and features the “gas seal” system. This involves the cylinder moving forward when the gun is cocked to create a seal between the barrel. This provided a boost to the velocity of the projectile by eliminating cylinder gap. Leon Nagant is to be credited with this unusual system. He was quite the inventor and gun maker. The M1895 was made in both single and double action, though the double action design eventually became the default. The M1895 Nagant was reliable and was used by the Soviet Union military all the way up to about 1952, when it was replaced by the Makarov pistol.

The overall condition is good. Excellent action. Bright, nicely rifled bore.  Good grips. Legible markings. This example has been nicely refinished. “CAI” import marked on the right side of the frame. The holster is in good shape.
