1905 Tula single action This piece is in original condition, all matching, non-import, it was manufactured at Tula 1905 & is an original single action only NCO/Enlisted model. note the original fire blued hammer, & gate spring
1905 SA cocked, showing hammer Note the outline of the lower part of the hammer & the lack of a hole/pin to hold the double action "hand". "Single Action" Nagants are being sold that are post imperial era, if looking at a WW2 era "single action" Nagant, check the pics here of the hammer note the differences & compare to the WW2 gun, I don't believe SA guns were made after 1917. All SA WW2 era guns I've seen have been standard DA nagants with the spring removed! There is a 1941 date SA Nagant in the Soviet Nagant section that shows this clearly. On this gun w/hammer at rest you cannot pull the trigger back, on a DA nagant w/the spring or hand removed you can pull the hammer back but it won't cycle the action.
