Brothers-arms of Belgian Liege Emile and Leon Nagant in the late 1870-ies submitted to the military authorities of the home country model six-shot revolver, which got approved and were adopted as the officer and noncommissioned officer weapons. Following this the firm of the brothers entered the global arms market.

In the early 1890-ies in the framework of the rearmament of the Russian army, a competition was announced for the new model of the gun that was to replace the outdated Smith-Wesson of the sample in 1880.

Foreigners in the struggle for “Russian order” quite quickly pushed the local gunsmiths, and the final battle occurred between the Belgians: Henri Pieper “Bayard” and Leon Nagant.

By the time Leon had to take all the work themselves: Emil, who was the “brain” and “hands” of the tandem, lost sight.

In order to get the upper hand, Leon had to alter the gun under favorite Russian caliber 7.62 mm, with which he coped successfully. Samozaryadnyj modification of the revolver Nagant model 1895 was approved by Emperor Nicholas II as a soldier and officer of arms.
