What's Included
- Orbea Hermanos .38 Special revolver (as described)
Built on a Spanish interpretation of the S&W Military & Police hand-ejector, this revolver uses a regional right-side push-button cylinder release. It features a six-shot fluted cylinder, an unshrouded ejector rod with a knurled tip, and a small forward locking lug in keeping with period service-revolver practice.
The barrel is roll-marked .38 SPECIAL CTG. in English, indicating an export orientation. The maker's crest appears on the left sideplate, and the serial number is located on the butt (number not included here).
Sighting equipment is straightforward and robust: a half-moon front blade paired with a topstrap notch rear. The 5 inch barrel length balances sight radius and handling in a traditional service configuration.
Construction is all steel for the frame, receiver, and cylinder, with a blued finish that has taken on a patinated appearance. The round-butt grip frame is fitted with checkered wood grips featuring a diamond escutcheon and inset metal discs, complementing the revolver's classic service profile.
