I do plan on getting a nice WW1 period holster and accessories, have not had a chance to get into that yet. This is my 1st Nagant pistol, slowly moving into the Czarist/Russian items. -

Nowhere as nice as a WW I bring back Nagant, but here is a view of my Uncles WW II bring back from Berlin in its original holster. I never got the story. He died just after I got out of the Corps and after the funeral she shoved it into my truck and said a vet should have this. Thanks Gildwiller 1918 you brought back some old memories with this post. -

I actually have more fun shooting my Nagant Pellet pistol replica: The Gletcher NGT RF CO2 Pellet Revolver. Fun, and the cartridges do not stick in the cylinder. On an original those Russian cartridges expand and are difficult to extract. I will take a Tokarev over a Nagant all day long.

That is a nice Imperial model lacking a Billboard Import mark! Ya hoo! Very nice specimen. I never found an Imperial Nagant lacking import marks covering the original markings. I never could figure why they put the import mark on the left side-stupid is as stupid does. The left side revolver markings can be found on this source: http://www.geocities.ws/Pentagon/Bunker/4064/PersCollection/M1895page.html I wonder if the pellet replica is allowed in Europe? I hang mine on the wall. Anemic shooters. One is from my Uncle that got it in Berlin in WW II. It is a WW II bring back. The others are imports with the import mark on the bottom of the barrel. All too many of those $59 revolvers had a billboard import mark over the original markings making it useful for only a fishing box pistol. All too many had the import mark on the left side over the original markings. see the lower two additional photos. Nasty examples I was never lucky enough to find an intact WW I Nagant bring back in original condition. . Here is additional interesting info. for those that like these> https://jakesgunreviews.weebly.com/m1895-nagant.html This is nice to view: -

It is also marked with an et 64

Sorry if it's not clear.

Probably a batch or lot number in the production. Any more photos of the helme itself? On the inside edge of the brim should also be a number, this is the maker and size. ET64 Eisenhüttenwerke Thale size 64

Regimental markings. Can you post a few photos, and perhaps i can tell you what I mean.
-
Thanks it eventually fit in but does anyone know what those stamps on the dome of the helmet mean? Not the manufacture one but the one in the dome .Are they used as regimental markings or is their purpose unknown. Many thanks, Michael.

I remember many years ago, these were on offer deactivated to collectors, now no longer permitted. They were quite cheap in those days. -
WW1 Era M95 Mosin Nagant Revolver
Gildwiller1918 posted a topic in De-activated and Antique Guns, Munitions and Fuzes
Here is the Mosin Nagant M1895 Revolver. This gun is a 7-shot and fires a 7.62 x 38mmR cartridge. It was designed by Léon Nagant and production started in Belgium, in 1898, Russia bought the rights to produce and started making on average 20,000 a year. The gun utilizes a gas seal, which seats the cylinder against the barrel, preventing loss of gas pressure. The cartridge is also unique looking with the bullet completely recessed inside the casing. The loading and reloading on this gun was not fast or easy compared to other revolvers in use elsewhere at the time. These pistols were made in large numbers, with at least 2 million produced seeing service through WW2 until being replaced in 1952. This particular firearm was made in 1909 at the Tula factory, however after the revolution, czarist era stampings were marked out or removed, as in this case the markings have been stamped over. Typically, from what I have seen, more soviet era pistols are available than Czarist ones on the market today.
