info on "Burgo"

xtc68
I was told if i had a question about an unknown weapon that this was the forum to subscibe to. So here goes, does anyone have any information on a .38 spec. 4" blued "Burgo" revolver, with H W 38 stamped on the receiver frame of the cylinder and a circled W stamped on the cylinder, the barrel, and the receiver frame for the cylinder; all on the left-hand side of the weapon. As well as a stamped side view of what appears to be a depiction of Mercury (the god), there is also a gold stamp with the name "Burgo" on the left side of the grip frame. On the right-hand side of the weapon are the stamps "made in germany", " H. Weinrauch Mellrichstadt" and a serial# 418486. I am wondering if it is worth $200.00, please someone let me know.

    Basically the same as the Arminius revolver. They do not sell very well in the US at all, and resale is virtually zilch. The lockwork design is not very robust with several small coil springs.

    My advice is to (a) get it for $125 (tops) or (b) spend the $200 on a used S&W/Ruger.

    BURGO-- Trade name used by K. Burgsmuller Sen. on Rohm revolvers.
    Valuewise...even in as New Condition I'd hesitate to give $100.00...for one....Have You considered spending a Couple of Hundred Dollars and picking up a S&W or maybe a Taurus....I've seen them in that Price range....Try posting a Want Ad in the Wanted Portion of the Forums...
