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 |
