Description:
HG1548 Here is a specimen of the much maligned, but actually pretty good quality, Rohm or RG Revolvers imported en masse from the 1950s on up until Mrs. Sarah Brady and her peers put RG Industries out of business in 1986 while the rest of us in this industry sat idle. Corporate genealogy of the Importers were first Eig Cutlery, then F.I.E. / Firearms Import and Export Company, and then an independent German Owned RG Industries in Miami. Many other distributors had their own names stamped on the RGs, notably FIE and Spesco. Manufacturer of these good solid revolvers was Rohm Gesontheim Germany, hence the corporate initials. Serial number range is V009000 range, manufactured in 1982 or 1983, because we received many of its siblings from RG Distributors during that year. This specimen made its way up the East Coast to North Carolina, where it rested well with its original well behaved owner, then got confiscated by Sheriff’s Deputies a couple of years ago. Surface finish wear is extensive. The original semi-gloss frame and barrel shroud finish show extensive scouring. Much of the original bluing remains on the steel cylinder, serrated service trigger and hammer, and cylinder, with extensive freckling and superficial pitting that affects about 40 percent of the blued steel surfaces. Note that the grips are chipped in two places, and they have been painted with custom Carolina Hillbilly Barn Red enamel. We rate it as Good finishwise, 70 percent vicinity by our estimate; photos, at any rate, ought to suffice for our shoppers to judge finish grade for themselves if that matters. This RG38S, 4 inch Vent Rib .38 Special is Very Good mechanically. Cylinder times correctly on all six positions in both single and double action; bore, cylinder chambers and mechanism are all bright and clean; and lateral play to the cylinder totals only about 2 mm total. While we have seen several of these stand up to protracted firing with high performance ammunition, notably the Super Vel .38 +P loads of the 1970s, we don’t recommend plus P ammo for these revolvers, and RG never recommended it, either. We’re offering this historic German Piedmont Domiciled RG 38S Revolver for only $ 129.00. Not transferable to civilian residents of California, Chicago, District of Colombia, Illinois, Maryland, Massachusetts, or South Carolina.
