What's Included
- Arminius 7.65mm .32 ACP 5-shot revolver
Manufactured in Germany during the interwar period, this Arminius 7.65mm carries Zella-Mehlis location markings along with proof and inspection stamps on the frame, cylinder, and barrel flats. These marks support its period-correct origin and add interest for collectors.
Built on a compact, steel frame with a blued finish, it pairs a 5-shot cylinder in .32 ACP with an approximately 2 1/4 in octagonal barrel. The bird's-head grip frame is fitted with translucent plastic grip panels, giving it a distinctive look consistent with the era.
The revolver operates in double-action/single-action with an exposed hammer spur for deliberate single-action shots when desired. Its fixed cylinder design uses a manual ejection system rather than a swing-out crane.
A knurled ejector/cleaning rod is retained under the barrel in a recessed channel to service the cases. Sighting is straightforward and durable with a fixed half-moon front blade and a topstrap groove rear.
