[Simke]

This is what a friend of me found when renovating his house , his wife d'ont like weapons , so I got it as a gift

I love it when a friends wife hates guns, usually ends up in my hands, too! And free is always a good price. What's the date? Very fuzzy picture.

I believe 1944 , the last number is not good to read. Its a Russian revolver, the nagant wich everybody will know, found in an attic of a house in Belgium

Deactivated ??

[Simke]

no, still working , there is a law in Belgium that you can buy and have some of the wwII weapons and everything before wwII in its working condition, in your home without license

Really , i hope that is still current, sometimes showing live weapons on an open forum can lead to problems !!

[Simke]

D'ont worry Even the k98 , whe can buy it here without license , they are considerd as hdf weapons , meaning they have value as historic, decoratif and folclore. But once you go shooting with it, then you need a license, what is obviuos.

Difficult to see the markings in the fuzzy pics, but would assume Liege manufacture before production was moved to Russia, as this was found in Belgium.
Hope you are right about being allowed to own this. Better check up on local firearms laws.

These old Nagants were known as "clubs" by many, as they were so God awful a pistol, that many thought using them as a club was more likely to be successful...

[Simke]

it is Russian made by Izhevsk and I would assume its captured by a German soldier.
I follow the local laws, that's why I know that it is legal
