Swedish Mod 1887 Nagant Revolver question

[jethunter]

I haven't been able to find a lot of info on these revolvers. I understand some are antique and some not depending on date of manufacture. Is there a known s/n cut-off point for antique status?

Anyone own a 7.5mm Swede M1887 Nagant? hard to get components in canada? Thanks in advance

I think the CFC just recently (as in a couple months ago) dropped their cut-off serial number. I think it's 200.

Would that mean only #200 and under are antique in Canada?

Just found the email (dated April 29th) - the CFC now only considers serial numbers 1-350 as being pre-1898. It should be noted that this is for the Husqvarna made model 1887s - the 1887s made by Nagant Brothers should all be antique.

Mine was just like the one Jethunter posted a picture of and mine was a Rare Norweigian 1897.
Had Norway markings on it. Not Swedish.

Do these revolver use the same gas check system used in the Russian Nagant revolver?? (the cylinder moving forward and special cartridges)
