What’s Included
- Rohm Gesellschaft RG10 Burgo .22 Short revolver
Made in Germany markings and the Burgo trade name on the barrel identify this revolver clearly and add useful context for collectors of German-imported small-frame handguns. The gun is an RG10-pattern compact with a six-shot fluted cylinder chambered in .22 Short.
Operation is double-action/single-action with a spurred, serrated hammer. The revolver uses a right-side loading gate with manual case ejection, a simple and robust setup suited to this small-frame design.
Construction pairs a painted zinc-alloy frame with blued steel for the 2.5-inch barrel and the cylinder. Sighting is fixed: a small blade on the muzzle band up front and a square-notch in the topstrap at the rear.
Two-piece, light-colored checkered synthetic grips feature RG medallions. The overall configuration is compact and straightforward, matching the practical layout and materials that define this model.
