Italian 1889 Bodeo Revolver manufactured by Fabb D Armi in Brescia, Italy 1890. The cylinder accepts appropriately loaded 44 Russian handloads, 4 3/8" barrel, 6 shot. The exterior has been reblued at some point. The stow away trigger system works as designed and trigger drops down for use upon hammer pull. Action is finicky, hence the low price. Double action is often working well but at times it binds or doesn't cycle cylinder. In single action it cycles the cylinder fine but trigger pull often has a two stage effect where is needs 2 light pulls to release hammer. Sideplate locking screw can loosen at times and there is slight gap at bottom. There is play in lockup. Original grips are in good shape, lanyard ring is intact. Bore and cylinder walls rate good-very good. Interior components/springs appear in good shape so not sure why the issues. Again sold cheaper due to above noted issues. Antique status in Canada, no PAL required to purchase or own. Will include an RCMP FRT printout showing antique status in Canada. $1725 includes Free Shipping.
