Even though I favor automatics, I really like the older European revolvers. Great condition for this Reichsrevolver. Your knowledge of these old guns is remarkable. Have you ever shot it?

From the references I have read, these Reichs Revolvers were issued out to some Volksturm units. Must have been a nightmare for logistic units to attempt to supply units with their various ammunition requirements.
