There were few 9mm Nagant revolvers. made in Liege.
first was m1878, then m1883 and last one was m1886.
M1887 is the first one that was 30 cal 7.5 mm Nagant brothers produced.
Pics would help to identify your revolver and ammo for it can be researched.
If this the animal? then you need 9x34mm cartridge. May be refer to CIP for exact dimensions

Brevit/brevet is I believe simply french for "Patent" and not a part of revolver's name. If it has brevet on the barrel I'll hazzard a guess and say it's an early contract produced in Belgium for nations unkown. Does it have the Liege proof mark?
Many thanks . I received info that by the measurements I took this Brevet Nagant is a 9 x 22 mmR . Trying to find info on what is needed to load this cartridge . If you have or get any info I would appreciate your help . Regards Murray
If it's 356 bore then use 9mm luger lead bullets. I will find you some info

Ian on forgotten Weapons did a video on Brevet Colt percussion revolvers.
Instead of chasing foreign patent violators endlessly, Colt allowed them to sell if the maker paid a fee at the time that it was proofed, and such copies were marked Brevet Colt's Patent I believe.
Anyway, Brevet I would think means a copy of a Nagant.

Fire forming the 30-30 brass went well. Have loaded some paper patch for the next try.
The proof mark (E over LG with a star at the bottom inside an oval) indicates that it was made in Leige. This proof mark was used between 1811 and 1892.

Correct in the case of a Colt not for a Nagant. Brevet simply means 'patent'. All it means is it is the Nagant patent, which since they were originally produced in Belgium is correct. Brevet Colt simply means Colts patent.

How are the paper patched bullets holding up fired from your revolver cylinder? Are any getting ripped off or damaged in the forcing cone or jump from cylinder to barrel?

We haven't tried shooting the paper patch yet but apparently this gun was designed for it. The forcing cone is a very long taper, about 3/4", so it should be ok.
