Was recently approached by an acquaintance who is aware of my interest in turn of the century guns. She showed me a "mystery revolver" given to her by her grandfather's estate, which from my research appears to be a Bolte & Anschutz .320 revolver. It seems to be in good shape, although the bluing seems to have an odd reddish hue to it. I don't have permission to share pictures of her revolver so I'm posting some stock photos from bing images. Hers is in equally good condition as the one pictured.
According to her, her grandfather served in WWII and took the pistol off a dead German soldier. She was hoping I could get her an idea of what it might be worth for insurance purposes, and also if there is ammunition available for it. From my searching all I could find was info about the dates Bolte & Anschutz was licensed to produce firearms and some information that suggests the revolver MAY be able to chamber and safety fire .32 shot colt.
I'm hoping some other CGN C&R collectors might have some more info. Thanks in advance for your time and consideration.
