Reichs Revolver Value
Reichs Revolver Value
I have a Reichs Revolver and would like to find out if it has any value.Attached Thumbnails
From what I could find out is that the revolver was made for the German military and fires a 10mm round.
If any collecter out there has any knowledge of this revolver and possible value pls reply to this post.

Reach out to Camo here on the forum. He may be able to guide you. From what I understand they were last ditch weapons. So poorly made they could only be used to end the owners life as they probably fail if needed in combat.
Don’t take life too seriously, no one gets out alive.

Re: Reichs Revolver Value
Hardly Cordite! The OP's revolver is the official German Army revolver introduced in 1879/1880 (both dates are quoted) and not superseded until 1908 when the pistol '08 (Luger) was adopted. It is often called the Commission revolver since it was designed by an Army Commission. There was also a 1883/1884 (ditto) shorter barrelled model. These revolvers were still in service during WW I, and even popped up in the last desperate days of WW II.
They are single action only and have a safety catch on the LHS. Gate loading and ejection with the use of a wooden rod.

Perhaps ask Classic Arms?
