Product Information

A First World War Issued German Reichs Revolver with matching numbers, dating to 1892 with military inspection stamps. The M1879 Reichsrevolver, or Reichs-Commissions-revolver Modell 1879, was the standard service revolver used by the German Army from 1879 to 1908, before the PO8 Luger was adopted replacing it. These huge revolvers were extremely robust and chamber a mighty 10.6mm round. Often favoured by front line troops on trench raids as it was far less prone to stoppages (unlike the Luger) and had formidable stopping power. They were used throughout WWI and even WWII, Luftwaffe pilots were known to use them. Interestingly it can also chamber the Russian .44 S&W ammunition.

The revolver is manufactured by Erfurt, with correct Imperial German Army inspection stamps and it is regimentally marked to the 3rd Regiment, Field Artillery, 2nd Company, weapon number 39. (3.A.2.39)

Chambered in an obsolete calibre (10.6mm) it can be owned live without any form of license. The bore and cylinders are both in good condition. It can be cocked, fully stripped and dry fired. The action is crisp and tight.
