A Swiss Model 1882 ordnance revolver from Waffenfabrik Bern, serial 21141, made around 1917 and chambered for 7.5 Swiss. The barrel is 4.5 inches. The gun has been arsenal refinished and, as refinished, grades excellent, with an excellent bore and crisp, clear markings. It is mechanically excellent as well, and it is sold used.

This revolver suits a collector of military sidearms, especially one filling out a run of European service revolvers. The arsenal refinish is stated up front, which matters for grading, and the clean markings make it easy to research. The 7.5 Swiss chambering limits its use as a shooter, so most buyers will treat it as a display and reference piece that happens to be in excellent mechanical order, with a bore that would still do its job.
