This video examines the Nagant Model 1877 Gendarmerie, a unique double-barreled rolling block pistol. Manufactured by the Nagant brothers, who had a historical partnership with Remington, this pistol was adopted as a standard issue for the Belgian Gendarmerie. The description details its distinctive features, including a single trigger that fires both barrels sequentially and two hammers. Chambered in the Belgian 9.4mm revolver cartridge, only 2000 units were produced. The "W" stamp on the buttcap signifies its Gendarmerie service, and it remained in use until the introduction of the Browning Model 1899. The video also highlights the Nagant company's origins and early collaborations.
