Lot 1323:
Nickel Finish Rossi Model 25 Princess Double-Action Revolver .22 LR with 2 Inch Barrel
Description
This Rossi Model 25 Princess is a compact double-action six-shot revolver chambered in .22 Long Rifle featuring a 2-inch barrel. Based on the Smith & Wesson J-frame design, this Brazilian-manufactured handgun features a nickel finish on the frame, barrel, and cylinder, contrasted by a blued hammer and trigger. The furniture consists of brown marbled plastic checkered grips inset with silver-colored Rossi medallions. Key markings include Amadeo Rossi & Cia and Sao Leopoldo R.S. stamped on the left side of the barrel, with .22 L.R. on the right. The right side of the frame is marked Made in Brazil above the Rossi logo, with Firearms Int’l Corp Washington, D.C. stamped below the cylinder as the importer. The serial number 598052 is clearly struck on the bottom of the grip frame. The revolver is equipped with a fixed ramp front sight and an integral notch rear sight. Note – All firearms require a federal 4473 background check.
Condition report:
The nickel finish shows moderate wear with scattered areas of surface oxidation and fine pitting, most notably across the cylinder flutes and along the barrel. The blued finish on the hammer and trigger remains largely intact with some minor thinning. The brown marbled plastic grips are in good condition with crisp checkering and no visible cracks, though the silver-colored medallions show some age-related tarnish. The bore shows strong rifling and the action appears to function correctly in both single and double-action modes, although we have not function-tested this firearm with live ammunition.
