Soviet revolver, 1915?

[Robert P.]

there are many case mouth variations on the nagant round, as far as i know they are all interchangable.

Probably different cylinders, correct? Interchangeable I presume.

Does anyone know a value for this pistol I paid $100.00 for it.

$100
That's a bargain
Did it come with the holster as well?
Those were selling in Frankonia in mint condition for three times the amount you payed
Nice gun
Ace

No, I wish I had the holster also. I bought a mint Mosin Nagant rifle, stamped 1940 also, mint condition. Bayonet, cleaning kit, oil can, period mint cartridge (ammo) pouches, period ammo all came with it, for $100.00 also. Everything is in perfectly mint condition. I put the bayo on the rifle for it's very first time. A friend here who owns a small gun shop came across a cache of Russian long arms and pistols. They went fast at that price. He also had some shorter Mosin Nagant rifles in mint condition. They were a shorter version.???

no, all cartridges will fire in your revolver as is. do a google search on nagant cartridges and you will find several kinds of case mouth, all usable in the standard nagant.

The round shown on the link is newly manufactured by Fiocci with a jacketed bullet, they have incorporated a crip to keep the bullet in place. Original ammo has a tapered case to keep the round in place. The lead target rounds work well but there is other ammo manufactured in the 50's out there that is corrosive so be careful.

Here is a link to an original finish gun and the target ammo.

The literal translation on the box is "Sporting Gun Bullet" or I think in English "Target Ammo".

I have a Russian IT person who translates for me.

Thank you Mark!

This is exactly the ammo I have, same case, same box. I don't plan on shooting my near mint (98%) piece, just a collectible.

Looking down into the case all I see is a lead wadcutter style bullet. Are they jacketed?

No, nice REVOLVER

You'll hate me for this

But to be really picky, it's an "Imperial Russian Revolver" as the Soviet State had yet to see the light of day. It reads: "TULSKIJI SRUSH. ZAVOD" and "IMPER. PETRA VELIK" in the middle. Roughly translated " TULA WEAPONS FACTORY" and "EMPEROR PETER THE GREAT" after its founder.

And it's a fine specimen indeed!

I guess I don't understand. Is it not a Russian-made piece? Where is Tula weapons factory?

It IS a Russian piece, just not Soviet Russian. The revolver was made during the rule of the last Russian Tsar Nicholas II. The Russian town of Tula in the Tula region was then known as "The Arsenal of Russia".

Well, that satisfies me. As long as it wasn't made in Communist China, Malasia, Turkey or Mexico.

Thanks,
