Bought this from a buddy a few years ago for $10 IIRC.

It shoots, the trigger guard fits a 1yr old's finger, it's a stout heavy barrel, and it's ugly as sin.

Tell me what you know about it? I know absolutely nothing.

"Cal 22LR"

Roll marks

"Germany and serial #"

Let's see just how good Arfcom is with their cheap ass guns.

One of the cheap Rohm revolvers that were imported by a shit load of companies.

I know they were imported a "ranch" guns. Some were youth guns. I think they were made by Smidt or something like that. Nothing special or rare. Just kinda odd.

Scoured google images and came up with nothing.

Closer to the FIE but again, no Miami FL import marks.

germany turned out a SHITLOAD of cheap garbage revolvers for the civi market post WWII. most likely one of those although the quality doesn't look to bad on that one.

Recently had to track down the cylinder.

We used to have a drawer of broken crap like that. Seemed to have names like Bison, Reck, Rohm or three letter initials.
