Considering that we Americans are most used to seeing the rather homely Russian Nagants, the Swedish variant is rather lovely by comparison. Nice photo, TJ. Good information.

For reference, the above message is a reply to a message where: The first version was introduced around 1884, and it was adopted by the Swedish Army in 1887. Initial production was by the Nagant factory with around 2600 revolvers built before manufacture was licensed to Husqvarna Vapenfabrik in 1898. Husqvarna built around 14,000 more before production ceased in 1905. This revolver did not have a long service life as it was replaced by the Browning designed M/07 automatic in 9mm Browning Long in 1907. It is chambered for the 7.5 x 22mmR cartridge which in power is about equal to the .32 S&W Long.
