Arminius Waffen-werk
« on: February 17, 2008, 07:32:40 AM »
My son has a 32 cal revolver and has no idea what it is or any history on it. I was wondering if anyone could help with anything on it.

   32 cal. and i`m guessing their shorts  6 shot
  Arminius Waffen-Werk
  Zella-mehlis ( THUR. )
  octagonal barrel

  on one side of the handles is EF incased in a circle
  on the other side is a profile picture of Mercury incased in a circle

       Burch

the octagon barrel leads me to believe it is a first series Arminius.
probably a model 7. problem is, most of the series 1 revolvers were
5 shot.

I`ll have to double check but i`m sure he said it was a 6 shot. Any  info I can research on the web ?

you may have to cut and paste this, but see if the revolver on this page is close
