Description

This lot features a BBM Olympic 6 double-action starter pistol chambered for 6mm (.22 caliber) blanks. The Italian-made revolver is configured with an approximately 2-inch barrel and is finished in a durable black coating over its metal frame. The firearm is equipped with textured black plastic grips featuring a checkered pattern for a secure hold and fixed sights. Key markings include an oval on the left side of the frame containing the BBM logo with an arrow, and a raised rectangle on the right side embossed with MADE IN ITALY. This lot is presented in its original blue cardboard factory box, which is marked OLYMPIC 6, 8 Shots, and cal. 6 mm. (cal. 22). Included with the pistol are two circular plastic containers of MAXX Tech 6mm Flobert K blank ammunition manufactured by GH Ammunition in Bosnia and Herzegovina; each container is labeled as containing 100 cartridges.


Condition report:

The starter pistol is in good physical condition with minor thinning and surface wear to the black finish on the cylinder and high edges of the frame. The action appears to function correctly in double action, and the cylinder rotates as intended. The black plastic grips are intact with crisp checkering and no visible cracks. The original cardboard box shows significant edge wear, creasing, and minor tearing at the corners. The two containers of 6mm Flobert blanks appear full and the cartridges show no signs of corrosion or moisture damage.
