Lot 114:
West German Single-Action Revolver .22 LR with 4.5 Inch Barrel
Description
This West German manufactured single-action revolver is chambered in .22 Long Rifle and features a 4.5 inch blued barrel. The firearm is constructed with a blued steel frame and cylinder, complemented by a brass trigger guard and backstrap. It is fitted with marbled black and grey synthetic grips and a standard blade front sight. The left side of the barrel is stamped with the caliber designation Cal. 22 LR, while the underside of the barrel is marked GERMANY and shares the serial number 286135 with the forward section of the brass frame. The left side of the frame, positioned below the cylinder, displays three distinct proof marks: a bird-like heraldic symbol, a shield-shaped crest, and a circular mark containing the number 67, likely indicating a 1967 proof date. The underside of the ejector rod housing shows some minor surface pitting or residue. Note – All firearms require a federal 4473 background check.
Condition report:
The blued finish on the barrel and cylinder shows thinning and edge wear consistent with moderate use, along with scattered surface scratches. The brass components exhibit a natural aged patina with visible tarnish and scattered oxidation spots. The synthetic grips remain intact with minor handling marks. The bore shows distinct rifling, though the interior mechanical surfaces exhibit some light accumulation. The single-action mechanism appears to function correctly, though it has not been live-fire tested.
