My wife received an old .22 revolver with the inscriptions on the barrel made in Germany. On the butt of the gun it is stamped GM 2587 or GR 2587 also the barrel has thread for either an extension or a silencer of some sort any help identifying and estimating its value would be helpful please if someone knows something email me! You can see the pics at photobucket by typing yurbabydaddy2003 on the search and it should direct you to see user account. Hope to hear from someone!

    All it says is AMERICAN REVOLVER COMPANY and is double action. It don't use a loading gate just a off set channel to slide the cartridges in as you turn the cylinder by hand. I believe it shoots the 38 S&W cartridge. How old is it and who sold it? Any info?

    like help identifying an old revolver that a friend showed me a few days ago. The barrel is marked 38 long colt. The only other obvious marking is a trademark like a monogram on the left side of the frame that looks like F-A-R with the A being in the middle and some larger than the F or R. This piece doesn't seem to be high quality and workmanship is a little crude. Any help or info? Where or when made?

    Rosie there are guns as you describe marked American Double Action and American Bulldog, but I don't find any listing for an American Revolver Co. Can you post photos?

    Added: If it's marked U. S. Revolver Co. it was made by Iver Johnson.

    It could be a U.S. Revolver company. My brother has it in IL and wanted to find some info on it. I see if one of his daughters can send me a photo. He don't use a computer. He did give me a serial # of, 15173. I will talk to him tonight if I can catch him home. I'm pretty sure it is an Iver Johnson because he described the sear protuding out from behind the trigger.

    If so, tell him to look for the serial number under left grip with a letter prefix added that will date it.

    The F prefix was used 1921-1933 and serial #F15173 was made in 1926.

    US Revolver was a brand name made by Iver Johnson. It was sort of their "seconds" line, being simpler made than their top line guns. I have a couple- neat little revolvers.
