1889 Bodeo

[Low & Slow]

I believe spec was .410", but probably measured at the lands. My grooves slugged out at something like .424"/.425". I size down to .426.

My Bodeo came from a US Army veteran who brought it back from Italy in WW2. Only within
the last few years, did I find out it was a very early officers model and never returned to have a serial number stamped on the revolver. Never thought about shooting it (bore is exc) just a nice very early example of the Bodeo

a very early officers model

I like it better with the solid trigger and guard.

I like it better with the solid trigger and guard.

If I had to carry it, I'd fully agree with you, but from a curiosity standpoint, the folding trigger is more interesting.

The folding trigger types are cool and iconic. Like to find one sometime. Mine is an early officer's model. Not nearly as nice as RCS's, but interestingly has the De Lauso hammer block.

I've a 1874 model. I didn't like the folding trigger to gaze upon, but it makes it fit a slim holster better.
