What’s Included
- Rossi Model 69 .32 S&W Long revolver
This Model 69 is a compact, six-shot double-action/single-action revolver built on a small frame and finished in nickel. It carries a 2.5-inch barrel for easy handling and a round-butt grip frame fitted with two-piece hardwood stocks bearing Rossi medallions.
Sighting is straightforward and durable, with a serrated ramped front sight paired to a square-notch groove in the topstrap. The ejector rod is unshrouded and ends in a knurled tip for positive manipulation. The exposed hammer has a checkered spur and a hammer-mounted firing pin.
Chambered for .32 S&W Long, the barrel is roll-marked ".32 LONG" to denote the correct cartridge and avoid any confusion with .32 Long Colt. The cylinder, frame, and receiver are carbon steel with nickel plating for a bright presentation.
Import and factory markings include "MADE IN BRAZIL GARCIA SPORTING ARMS WASH. D.C." and "AMADEO ROSSI S.A. SAO LEOPOLDO R.S.," aligning the revolver with the Garcia-import era of the 1970s. These period stamps and features reflect its Brazilian manufacture and U.S. import history.
