I bought a Bodeo 1889 revolver with a strange inscription on the butt.

I think that in some moment of his life it fell in Austrian hands and was assigned to some unit but I don't know which.

Can somebody help me?

The only Austrian unit word with a 'W' I know is "wacht" or guard. Perhaps WR means guard regiment? SW

It's a Bodeo mod. 1899 produced on 1891 by Reale Fabbrica d'Armi, Brescia.
It was blued during first WW, because the original one were "blank".
I think that it was a war booty of the Austrian Army for the strange inscription.
Here with a Spanish Bodeo:

I have a Bodeo by Obreros Hermanos of Spain, and it's very well made. Shoots well, too. I hope to find one by Toschi Castelli someday just because I have Carcanos by Castelli. SW

You're right - my Bodeo is by A Errasti. I have different kind of revolver made by Obreros Hermanos chambered for the Italian service cartridge that could have been purchased privately. SW

Yes, that's it. It's in the back of the safe, and I was too lazy to dig it out to see. SW
