Description

This Rohm RG23 is a double-action snub-nose revolver chambered in .22 Long Rifle, designed as a compact personal defense or kit gun. The firearm features a swing-out six-shot cylinder and is equipped with a 1.75-inch barrel. The metal components retain a thinning blued finish, and the frame is fitted with mottled brown and black checkered plastic grips. Key markings include the Rohm manufacturer name on the left side of the barrel and the caliber designation CAL .22 lr over GERMANY on the left side of the frame below the cylinder. A circular proof mark containing the number 68 is visible on the left side of the frame forward of the cylinder. The left grip contains an integrated circular medallion embossed with RG24. The underside of the grip frame is explicitly stamped with the serial number 70911. This lot includes a fitted black leather holster showing commensurate wear. Note – All firearms require a federal 4473 background check.


Condition report:

The revolver shows significant finish wear across all metal surfaces, with the bluing thinning to a gray patina in several areas. There are patches of surface oxidation and light pitting, most notably on the right side of the frame and barrel assembly. The mottled plastic grips are intact with some light handling marks but no visible cracks. The bore was not inspected, and the mechanical function has not been independently verified. The included leather holster is in fair condition with typical scuffing and softening of the leather.
