Gun Collectors Dream Auction #72 Collectible Guns
Lot 150:
The Belgian Model 1877 Nagant Gendarmerie Pistol was a double-barreled, single trigger, double hammer, 9mm center fire metallic cartridge pistol that based upon the Remington Rolling block design. In 1877, the Belgian government extended a contract to the Nagant brothers to produce 2,000 of these pistols and made them the exclusive supplier of police pistols through 1901. While most of the European military and police forces were adopting revolvers, the Belgian Gendarmerie chose to adopt a double-barreled pistol that only provided two shots. Amazingly, these pistols would remain in service through the turn of the century until they were replaced by Browning Model 1899 semi-automatic pistols in 1901.
This Pistol Shows Early Three Digit Matching Serial Numbers of 109 and Appears Overall in Good Condition For Age. Hammers Functions, and Bores are Bright and Shiny.
