Dear IFG'ns ,
Your help is required in identification of this revolver ,its a 7 shot .32 Bore,chamber extracts from side,firing pin fixed type as of my MK3 IOF revolver , Made in Germany Engraved on it,and RS with a symbol also . Barrel looks in good condition.He is asking for 3.5 Lakhs and ready to take my Iof rEVOLVER IN 1 lAKH,shall i consider it for buying and does the weapon worth as claimed .I know I will get comments like firangi or foregn slave mentality but sir Being from Chambal region I can't help it where weapons are to flaunt not conceal.
Regards,
Digvijay Singh Tomar

He is basically taking your revolver for free.The last time I checked Arminius revolvers were going for about 2.5 lakhs and the one in the condition you posted, for less.IOF revolvers for about 1.10-1.20 lakhs.

Also beware Arminius Revolvers are made of Alloy, will not handle any misuse

specally be ware of using wadcutters in an alloy frame, as slight misalignments of cylinder due to wear in indexing mechanism could be dangerious and render your frame bent.
I had come across a bent magnum carry and on further research i realised it was either a fake or a starter conversion (illeagal) as correspondence with a colt person suggested that .32 were never made in alloy by colt, for it cannot handle the presure's. I'll try to post that letter.
so be ware do ur research....
