What's Included
- Rossi Model 685 revolver
The Model 685 is a 5-shot, small-frame revolver chambered in .38 Special with a double-action/single-action mechanism. It uses a 2 inch pinned carbon-steel barrel and an unshrouded ejector rod for a straightforward, classic snub-nose configuration.
As an Interarms import, it carries clear import and maker markings: "MADE IN BRASIL," "INTERARMS ALEXANDRIA, VIRGINIA," and "AMADEO ROSSI S.A. SÃO LEOPOLDO R.G." The model stamp "M685" is located inside the yoke.
Fixed sights consist of a serrated ramped front blade paired with a square-notch groove integral to the topstrap. The exposed, checkered hammer spur supports DA/SA operation and positive control.
The revolver is built on a steel frame with a blued finish and wears two-piece checkered wood grips with Rossi medallions. Its 1980s–1990s production period and pinned-barrel construction will appeal to buyers who prefer this era of Rossi manufacturing.
