ARIZMENDI Y GOENAGA Francisco
It is about a standard revolver Velodog, has apparent hammer, in 6mm Velodog, with folding trigger.
In good condition, although it may be that it was reblued with heat.
I join a photograph to you of what is interesting on this revolver, markings.
Initially to say that these markings are clean of F. Arizmendi y Goenaga, and former to the creation of the proofhouse of Eibar.
These marks go back to July 1909. Knowing that the proofhouse of Eibar started really has to function in 1928; we have the fork for manufacture of this weapon. Me I locate it around the Large War.
In 1, a “P” in a star. It is a little the precursor of “P” in the grenade of Eibar. Single test of admission for short weapons
In 2, a greyhound on
“PV”, test of fire of Arizmendi self.
“Polvora Viva” : Nitro proof
In 3, the mark of F. Arizmendi y Goenaga, well-known. There are several alternatives.
I could not say you the year according to the alternative of the logo.
Not large thing there above in the books.
In 4, Nº of manufacture (not serial Nº). It is the nº of assembly in the batch.
I join a
copy of these marks to you. one is a dove, the other a greyhound.
The dove is former in time to the greyhound.
It is for that that I locate the weapon around the Large War.
Difficult to determine.
