Produced at Izhevsk Arsenal in 1945, this revolver bears the classic Izhevsk mark (arrow in triangle within circle) along with multiple inspection and acceptance stamps on the frame, cylinder face, and butt. These markings place it squarely in WWII-era Russian service production.

The Nagant M1895 gas-seal mechanism advances the cylinder forward to seal the barrel–cylinder gap. This design, combined with the seven-shot capacity and right-side loading gate with an under-barrel pivoting ejector rod, defines the model's mechanical character.

Construction is all carbon steel with a blued finish on the frame, barrel, and cylinder. The revolver is configured with fixed sights—a front blade in a rectangular base and a rear notch in the topstrap—and a lanyard ring on the butt for field retention.

It retains its DA/SA action and checkered reddish-brown synthetic (Bakelite/phenolic) grip panels. This example is U.S. import marked on the frame: "NAGANT 1895 7.62 NAGANT CAL. MADE IN RUSSIA C.D.I. SWAN, VT," providing a clear import provenance.
