Anyone have or seen one of these in Canada? Stateside? Not the refurbed or even non refurbed Soviet ones but a Nagant revolver with Tsarist markings?

I used to have a link to a website about the M1895 Nagant which had pics of Imperial ones but have since lost it. Thanks.
 
Remember what it was going for? I've seen WW1 dated M1895s for sale but all have been refurbed by the Soviets with Tzarist stamps removed.
 
I have one, original from 1915, single action only, soldier's variant:

There is always a chance, but it won't be a Russian made though, since the production in Russia started in 1899, thus making all Russian made Nagants a restricted firearm. If you can find a Belgian made pre-1898 M1895 Nagant this is your chance then, but I don't think it is going to be cheap...

That trigger looks so "far forward" for a single-action !....b:

It does, but it is single action only revolver. If you squeeze the trigger without cocking the hammer, trigger only moves appr 1/4" back and cylinder rotates appr the same and hammer does not move. In order for this revolver to shoot double and single action its hammer must be replaced with hammer with double action pawl.
 
I saw one or two 1919 dated pieces a while back on P&S's website. Should have jumped on them to go with my 1919 Mosin...
 
I got my 1919 from P&S. He had two 1919s and one 1924. Someone scooped 1919 and 1924 at the same time. So I grabbed the last 1919 he had. After that I couldn't find nagant revolvers at all. Even WWII dated disappeared. Would be nice if someone would bring them in again. I think they would sell well. Artyman where did you get your 1919 mosin from?

Not sure of the production numbers during 1917-1920s as Russia was drowned in blood of civil war. But I know that bolsheviks defaced all the imperial markings from the weapons left from tsarist army and gradually withdrew them. I think that origional imperial nagant revolvers that has not been refurbished by bolsheviks are much more scarce then other ones. The origional unrefurb imperial nagants made it to the Europe and North America with their owners who fled Bolshevik Russia during civil war and probably have higher historical value then other nagant revolvers. But that is my opinion.
