Answer 1

edit and add more info and I will help you

Answer 2

The revolver that you are asking about was made in Germany by RG industries. The manufactured three types of handguns that were imported to the US. They made a standard revolver, a single action army style and a semi-auto. All were cheap guns and of not much interest, if any, to collectors. They have since gone out of business. The value of a standard revolver, according to Fjestad's "The Blue Book of Gun Values" will range anywhere from $61 to $100 depending on its condition. The SAA will run a bit more with a value of anywhere from $125 to $150. These are retail values and you can expect to get about 1/2 to 2/3 this amount if you find someone to buy it or take it in trade.

Answer 3

Rohm RG made some really cheap revolvers after WWII and through at least the 1970s and are one of the reasons for the term "Saturday Night Special". John Hinckley shot President Reagan with an RG-22, thankfully only wounding him.

In this case, "German made" does not indicate quality.

I think you will have a hard time finding someone to buy it that knows anything about firearms, then don't expect more than $75 if that. I'd also be cautious about firing it. Sorry, you can't take that trip to Europe on selling it!

Answer 4

Copies of the Colt single action army revolvers are not worth very much in comparison to the original. Value depends on condition and finish.

Answer 5

Hey exitwounds, go play halo some more and let grown ups answer.
RG made low quality handguns, not worth much, many consider them saturday night specials.
The 45 long colt is in fact a revolver cartridge, and RG in GERMANY made pistols in this caliber.

Answer 6

worth about 1200- 1300

Answer 7

Germany didn't make Colt 45's. And they are not revolvers.
