Buy recommendations Nagant M1895 legal?

Is this revolver considered antique thinking about getting back into guns kinda at a loss with pistols I've seen posts of old welby revolvers legal im just wondering the legality of this one its a very neat old russian pistol it is a gas seal chamber making it one of the only supressor compatible revolvers very innovative for its time it would be a nice collectible im into old revolvers.

If you can actually find one that was made before 1898 sure. I've only ever seen one "antique" Nagant 1895 for sale in this country and even though CBSA had let the guy import it, I found a Gunboards thread about that very pistol from before it was imported and the consensus was the markings were humped including the date stamp of 1896. It was up for sale for around 6-8K.
