The story of the Nagant M1895 revolver in the Polish Army—from its adoption and domestic production to its service as one of Poland's standard military sidearms before World War II.
Nagant Revolver in Polish Service
The Nagant M1895 revolver was one of the most important service sidearms used by the Polish Army during the interwar period. Adopted after the restoration of Poland's independence, it became a standard weapon not only for military personnel but also for numerous state institutions, serving throughout the years leading to the outbreak of the Second World War.
This richly illustrated volume presents the history of the Nagant M1895 revolver in Polish Army service, examining its Belgian origins, adoption, domestic production, design, technical characteristics and operational use. It also explores the circumstances surrounding its selection, the establishment of licensed manufacture in Poland and its role within the rearmament of the Polish Armed Forces during the 1920s and 1930s. Supported by archival photographs, technical drawings and historical documentation, the book offers a comprehensive overview of one of the most recognisable service revolvers in Polish military history.
