    I just inhertited a cal 22 short 6 shot revolver made in germany. It has an eagle stamped just in front and on the barrel with an 'N' underneath. also in front of the barrel there is the number 65 with what looks like maybe a four-pointed moose or deer antler to the right and 'valor' on the handle.
    I don't know anything about guns, really. It was my grandfather's gun and the rest of my family didn't want it, so they gave it to me. I just want a little info on the gun if anyone can furnish it--maybe where it was made and when. He was overseas in WWII, but i don't really know where he got it.
    Thanks a bunch,
    Maj.

    I just purchaced a 22 cal single action revolver.And am trying to find some info on it as I have never heard of this brand before. Or I would like to find the age and worth of the pistal.
    It says LA DEPUTY on the under side of the grip and there is a ram inset on each side of the grip. At first glance looks like a buffalo nickel. If any body could give any info I would be greatfull.
    Thanks

    It says made in Germany on the side of the barrel it does not have a "drop out" cylinder. It has a tiny emblem that is five sided with something in the middle coming out but it is so small that I cannot tell what it is, by the emblem is a tiny "N" or "Z" I can't tell because I don't know which way the emblem is facing. The numbers 82243 are on the cylinder and the barrel. It says Omega Model 100 above the cylinder. It takes 22cal shorts. The barrel is 1-2 inches long.

    Your revolver was made in 1965 in what was then West Germany. It was made by a manufacturer by the name of Rohm, with the it being his Model RG10.

    It was inexpensive, ( less then $30 ), and importation was stopped of this type of handgun by GCA 68.
