Antique Brescian BODEO M1889 Folding Trigger 10.35mm “SOLDIER’S” Revolver
WORLD WAR I Infantryman’s Service Weapon
Description: Antique Brescian BODEO M1889 Folding Trigger 10.35mm “SOLDIER’S” Revolver WORLD WAR I Infantryman’s Service Weapon Here we present an antique Italian Bodeo Model 1889 “Soldier’s” Revolver, made by Societa Siderurgica Glisenti circa 1896 in Brescia, Italy. It became the service revolver of the Italian Army in 1891. The revolver was named after the head of the Italian commission that recommended its adoption, Carlo Bodeo. It was produced in both Spain and Italy. The Italian manufacturers identified with the production of the Bodeo include: Societa Siderurgica Glisenti, Castelli of Brescia, Metallurgica Bresciana, and Vincenzo Bernardelli of Gardone Val Trompia. During World War I, Spanish manufacturers Errasti and Arrostegui of Eibar produced the Bodeo for the Italian government. The Italians nicknamed this revolver coscia d’agnello ("leg of lamb"). The Bodeo was slated to be replaced when the Glisenti Model 1910 was adopted, Italy’s first semi-automatic to be adopted. However, the reliability of the Glisenti left much to be desired so that the Bodeo remained in production until 1926. Even when the much improved Beretta Model 1934 was adopted, the Bodeo stayed in service until the end of World War II. This revolver may have seen fighting during Italy’s conquest of Ethiopia (1935-36), the Spanish Civil War (1936-39), the invasion of Albania (1939), and World War II (1940-45). There were two version of this revolver, one issued to soldiers that had an octagonal barrel, folding trigger and no trigger guard. The other was issued to field officers and NCOs and it had a shorter, round barrel and a traditional trigger and guard. The overall condition is very good. Original finish. The action is excellent in both double and single action modes. The bore is bright with sharp rifling. The grips are solid. Here is a really neat Italian revolver that saw the rise and fall of the Fascists in the mid-20th Century! Own the original! This is a legitimate antique and not a reproduction. Barrel is 4-1/2 inches. Caliber: 10.35x22mmR Overall condition as seen in photos. Very Fast. Very Safe. FREE SHIPPING WORLDWIDE. Delivered directly to your door by express mail! Guaranteed AUTHENTIC & Includes CERTIFICATE OF AUTHENTICITY. ancestryguns $1200 #247834 SOLD Antique: Yes |
