hello,,there a few thing to think about when talking about a nagant revolver ,,is it import stamped? most are ,,next what year is stamped on it ?the early ones (1900's -1920's dates) seem more in demand than ww2 dates ,,condition is next,,most i see these days are factory reconditioned and come with holster cleaning rod and screwdriver ,,those factors will effect the values some ,,

,,there an intresting design in revolvers and the first time you actually hold one and see the cylinder move forward it seem amazing that they woould even fire ,,lol,,i've owned a few and there really an ugly looking design but a very intresting peice of military pistol engineering,,problem is there is and was a bazillion imported here in the last 5-10 years ,value wise ,,theres still a few distributors selling them and for 20-40's dated models there averaging around 100 bucks ,,the older ones can bring 125-150 and if non import marked proably around 200+ ,,really nice one marked well and with all the acc's i see these days around 125,,some people have the average ones priced around 200 but thats way to much to pay ,,
ammo is getting a little hard to find but there is a conversion cylinder available for around 50 bucks to convert them to i beleive 32 mag ,,i know it's a 32 conversion but can't remember if it's the mag or the 32 long,,,,

A picture is worth a thousand words. Try getting a few good shots of both sides of the pistol and posting them in the thread.

The bigger firearms retailers are still selling the average ones in the $70.00-$100.00 range online.

I spent a couple of hours at the library, and this appears to be one of the original Nagants built at Liege before the Russian government bought the patent and started producing them at the Tula Arsenal. What effect would that have on its value?
