Description:

Sometimes the Model 1929 Ordnance Revolver is also called the Army Revolver 1882/29 or Revolver 82/29. This designation gives the impression that the Model 1929 Ordnance Revolver was modified from the Model 1882 Ordnance Revolver, which is not the case. The Model 1929 Ordnance Revolver is a simplified redesign based on the Model 1882 Ordnance Revolver. The Model 1929 Ordnance Revolver was redesigned to replace the Model 1882 Ordnance Revolver. Although parabellum pistols were introduced as early as 1900, the decision was made to redesign and introduce a revolver for several reasons: - inexpensive and easy manufacture - easy maintenance, servicing and disassembly - ease of use and high functional reliability At the time of its introduction in 1929, the Model 1882 Ordnance Revolver was still in use in the army, which performed very well. The 7.5mm black powder cartridges were thus also still introduced and available in the army. For a long time, the Parabellum pistol was considered a status symbol for officers; they did not want to give it to normal soldiers. Also, the handling of the parabellum pistols, as well as the obvious poor training among officers, led to numerous accidents. The first delivery of Model 1929 Ordnance Revolver took place in February 1933, the last revolvers were delivered in June 1946. The revolvers remained in use until at least the early 1970s in certain branches of the armed forces (service booklet of an auxiliary military policeman with privatization of the revolver on November 23, 1971 is available to the author, also new pocket ammunition 7.5mm Revolverpatrone 1882 was still being manufactured and issued in April 1971). A total of 18,209 revolvers with serial numbers ranging from 50,020 to 68,229 were produced for the Army. According to literature, approximately the first 7,000 Model 1929 Ordnance Revolver had red grip panels made of relatively brittle canvasite. Subsequent revolvers had first brown and then black grip panels of more stable bakelite. Many revolvers with red grip panels were subsequently given brown or black grip panels as a result of damage. According to the author's findings, the change from the red canvasite grips to the brown bakelite grips must have occurred somewhere between the numbers 55'800 and 56'300. Therefore, the original number produced with red grip panels is between about 5'780 and 6'280 pieces. As can be seen from the market observation, many pieces were subsequently fitted with brown and black grip panels. There was also a small private series made, primarily for the Border Guard (Customs). The serial numbers are in the range of P 25'001 to about P 26'500. The delivery of the private series according to the W+F delivery books are listed below. Gun numbers not listed were delivered to gunsmiths for private sale. The Model 1929 Ordnance Revolver, like the Model 1882 Ordnance Revolver, have a safety that disables the hammer and when the trigger is pulled, only the cylinder rotates. The leather pouches introduced with the Model 1882 Ordnance Revolver were also used for the Model 1929 Ordnance Revolver. Custom services used pouches that completely enclosed the revolver. In Switzerland, the Model 1882 Ordnance Revolver and Model 1929 Ordnance Revolver also fire .32 S&W Long caliber ammunition, which is more readily available on the market than the 7.5mm Revolverpatrone 1882.
