They must have imported this revolver back into the USA from Germany. Not sure if the FWW and KF stamps are German import or export stamps.

The model number appears to be a M18, but look at the size of the cylinder chambers, they look to be a 38 special.... or ?? Possibly a very highly modified revolver.... maybe that accounts for all (or part) of the proof marks.... Or maybe it's just an optical dillusion.... Last edited: Feb 18, 2024
