The Model 1877 Gendarmerie pistol was the first Belgian police service arm to use a metallic cartridge. They were used until 1901. This pistol features a rolling block action with double hammers and single trigger. When the hammers are cocked the trigger is pulled once to fire the right barrel and a second time to fire the left barrel. The upper left side of the frame is marked "BREVET REMINGTON," and the right side is marked "BREVET/NAGANT" and E.M. &L NAGANT/LIEGE" in a circle. There are Liege proofs, small "crown/LH" and "rampant lion/C" stamps, and matching serial numbers. "34" is marked in red marker ahead of the lanyard ring.

Good with 50% of the original blue and niter blue finish. Cold blue is visible on the sides of the barrels and trigger guard. The faded areas have smooth gray patina. The grips are very fine with crisp checkering and minor marks. Mechanically excellent.
