Italian 1889 bodeo

[drslav]

What is the Italian 1889 bodeo revolver worth? Made in 1918. Condition isn't the best. Cylinder has play. Rifling is sharp and clean. Any info appreciated.

What's the pineapple shaped "thingy" on the left side of the grip? Hammer safety? Half ####...lock?

It looks like something to do with the cylinder.

Disassembly screw. Unscrew it (captive, can't be lost) and the side-plate pivots forward.
Too bad it was made 1918. Would be worth a lot more if it were antique. I would guess it might bring a couple of hundred.

it looks as if the barrel is under the magic 105 mm and if so that would make it a prohib and be difficult to sell

Barrel length 115 mm. It's restricted, not antique. Enlisted version. Looks like refinished. They are hard to find, but not a lot of ppl are interested in them so price always depends on the phase of the moon. In good condition probably could go for $450, but in this... adjust accordingly.

It's a bolt that takes it apart
