Description:
Italian SFARE BODEO M1889 Folding Trigger “SOLDIER’S” 10.35mm Revolver C&R

Rare Maker from GARDONE VAL TROMPIA, ITALY

Here we present a C&R Italian “SFARE” Bodeo Model 1889 Model Soldier’s Revolver, made by the firm Societa Fabbrica Armi Regia (Royal Society Manufacture of Weapons” of G.V.T. in 1926 in Gardone Val Trompia, Italy. Made by a large variety of Italian gun-makers, this “SFARE” made Bodeo is much more uncommon to find. 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.

There were two versions 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. The frame and cylinder has preserved much original finish. Robust action. On this example, the trigger does not hold in its folded position. The bore is mostly bright, slightly dimming towards the muzzle, and retains nice rifling. Both grips are solid and have softened checkering. Markings are legible. “X” marked on the right side of the frame.
