Description:

This German revolver was made under Russian contract as well as for commercial sale. The barrel rib is marked "LUDW. LOEWE & Co. WAFFEN - & MUNITIONS - FABRIK. BERLIN. 6615". The matching serial number is also on the butt and rear face of the cylinder. The blade front sight is integral, and the rear sight is a notch on the barrel latch.

Rating Definition:

Very good plus. The revolver retains strong traces of bright original high polish blue finish in the protected areas, otherwise a mottled brown-gray patina with some minor pitting. The grips are fine with a deep scratch on the right panel, otherwise some minor handling marks. Mechanically excellent.
