The Fabrique d'armes Émile et Léon Nagant, later known as L. Nagant & Cie, Liège, was a Belgian firm established in Liège in 1859 as a manufacturer of firearms and later automobiles. It was originally founded by brothers Émile and Léon Nagant as an industrial repair business that included repairing damaged firearms; in 1867 the brothers entered the firearms market under a license to produce Remington Rolling Block rifles for the Papal Zouaves, and the company is best known for Émile's contribution to the design of the Mosin-Nagant Russian service rifle, adopted in 1891.
