The Brazilian Model 1883 Nagant revolver, chambered in 11mm Nagant (.44 Henry Centerfire), offered ammunition interchangeability with Brazilian Winchester 1866 carbines. Initially ordered as Mauser 1878 Zig-Zag revolvers, Brazil switched to Nagant due to perceived inferiority. Early models were single-action, with later Republican-era contracts featuring double-action variants. These revolvers served Brazil from 1883 until at least 1937, with some seeing use into the 1950s.
