SOLD RUSSIAN pre WW2 1931 NAGANT REVOLVER…..MATCHING NON IMPORT…….STALIN NKVD PURGE SPECIAL

IN 94% ORIGINAL NICE CLEAN CONDITION ALL MATCHING WITH AN EXCELLENT BORE, WE HAVE A VERY HARD TO FIND 1931 DATED RUSSIAN MODEL 1895 NAGANT REVOLVER. THESE ARE VERY HARD TO FIND IN ANY DECENT CONDITION, AS NOT MANY OF THESE MADE IT BACK HERE FROM WW2. A FEW MORE GOT HERE FROM THE KOREAN WAR BUT THEY ARE NOT SEEN TOO OFTEN IN ORIGINAL CONDITION. THIS IS A VERY UNUSUAL 7 SHOT GAS SEAL REVOLVER. THIS GUN WAS LONG OBSOLETE BY THE TIME THAT WW2 BEGAN BUT IT STAYED IN PRODUCTION FOR THE SIMPLE FACT THAT YOU COULD NOT STICK A TOKAREV THROUGH THE PORTS ON A T 34 TANK. FOR THIS REASON ALONE, IT USEFULNESS IN ARMING TANK CREWS THE NAGANT REVOLVER STUCK AROUND. 1931 IS A VERY SCARCE PRODUCTION YEAR FOR THIS REVOLVER AS TT-33 PRODUCTION WAS UNDERWAY SO THE NEED FOR THESE REVOLVERS WAS NOT HIGH DURING THESE PEACETIME YEARS. THIS IS A GREAT EXAMPLE OF WHAT WAS USED IN THE BASEMENT OF LUBIANCA PRISON TO LIQUIDATE THE ENEMIES OF THE STATE.
