Engraved Roos Marked German Double Action Pinfire Revolver with Custom Case

The top of the barrel is marked ''U. ROOS & SOHN IN STUTTGART". The cylinder, outer edge of the loading gate, frame, trigger guard and back strap are decorated with floral scroll engraving. Pinched blade front and hammer notch rear sights, ejector rod mounted on the right side of the barrel lug, blue barrel and cylinder, casehardened remaining parts and fitted with two-piece walnut grips with a sea shell motif on the bottoms and lanyard ring on the butt. Complete with an oak case shaped like a holster with brass hardware, a gold washed oiler and padded green felt lining.

ConditionPeriod, possibly retailer refurbished. The barrel and cylinder retain 95% blue finish with some wear on the underside, breech end of the barrel. The remaining metal surfaces have a smooth gray patina with traces of the original casehardening pattern visible. The grips are very fine with light handling marks and crisp checkering. The markings and engraving are clear and crisp. The action is fine. The case is excellent.
