Italian Glisenti Brescia Bodeo Model 1889 10.35mm/.44 Antique Revolver
Howdy Townpost! I've got an Italian jewel for you to take a look at here. This is an Italian Bodeo model 1889. These guns are among my favorite antique revolvers. They are a very simple rugged and easy to maintain and repair Military revolvers with one of the coolest safety/loading systems as part of its design. These revolvers are very well designed, and feature the safety, loading/unloading system called the "Abadie System". This system was designed in Portugal, but many European late 19th century designs incorporated it. This particular example is an 1897 production by Glisenti at Brescia. Glisenti made Bodeos from 1891 to 1906. This is considered a tipo (type) A or an enlisted model. The type A had a folding trigger which was considered safer and was issued to enlisted men and the type B was the officer's model and had a trigger guard. This particular gun is considered a late model because it has an internal hammer block safety, which is dovetailed into the hand (pictured). The early model had a external hammer block safety that was prone to breakage. I've personally seen multiple antique examples with broken external hammer block safeties. So it was a good move from a design standpoint to change. The early models also were finished in the white in a similar manner to the French model 1873 Chamelot-Delvignes were. This example is of course blued like the overwhelming majority of the late models. This revolver is in excellent condition mechanically and has minimal wear overall. The grips are in excellent condition and we're refinished professionally. The chambres and bore are in excellent & minty condition as well. And the bore itself is one of the best I've ever seen on a Bodeo, with clean, sharp and shiny lands and grooves. This revolver chambres the 10.35mm Italian ordinance cartridge. This cartridge is very similar to .44 Russian but has a smaller diameter bullet (.422) and a slightly tapered chambre. I have seen these shot with .44-40 bullets that are .427 in diameter. These revolvers were loaded with smokeless from the get-go in 1890 using ballastite, a smokeless propellant. For an additional fee on top of the price I can have the chambres slightly reamed so that they will accept .44 Russian cartridges. That way you can buy an off-the-shelf ammunition without the need to hand load. However these are quite easy to hand load and source components for. The revolver is located in Calgary AB for local delivery or pickup. Or I can ship it nationwide too.

selling or trading for cash, bullion or thick heavy high purity solid gold/diamond+chain/bracelet or anything that is of interest. Old maps,books,antiques/firearms especially authentic artifacts. Updated April 2025: May be interested in selling or trading my custom authentic boulder opal signet ring; this was done on order and custom designed also it’s directly from a family in the AUS; small farm mine that results boulder opals of all sizes which are the rarest opals on Earth and the rarest gemstone type. This isn’t like any bought normally; it’s not sectioned or layered, a full opal polished to fit the 14k gold ring which is quite thick, heavy, you can see its authenticity by the red stone backing proving just on that aspect alone. Its fairly thick but they come in all shapes and sizes this one is a small/medium rating but it’s an A+ top quality gem on its own and may even be worth more than the gold in the ring itself. It cost me a good amount to get it all custom done which I was a part of the entire creation process. Its large about 12-13 size can be adjusted. It’s encased and mostly enclosed by a square raised section of the rings complete shank in one piece by a square top raised cushion setting. I don’t particularly want to part with this unless a good offer as on auction or selling to a pawn shop/jeweler could get more than I paid for it years ago. Its hallmarked gold stamp Its around 16gram minus stone, close to that in gold content which is about half a Troy ozt of gold bullion, based on current market prices its slightly more than I paid for the entire smithing job and gem and then the shipment and insurance to have it mailed overseas. — “Infinity Ring” This is a valuable collectors item but also gorgeous for anyone who’s into Marvel Avengers; the ring and i designed cost alot of time & money for the custom work, gems sourced pure gold a few years ago with prices/premiums/jewelcraft-goldsmithy markup now it’s not likely I will get much profit, but these are collectors pieces. Also any pawn shops or jewelers take 100- 300% over spot, you won’t find cheaper,smaller/lighter ones are more than what I’d take: these are only ones of their kind in existence solid 22-23+ solid thick/chunky over 1 ounce Troy pure gold content semi hammered natural deep bright slightly burnished looking gold hue from the pure bullion direct from mining factory/natural gold slight silver mix its near 96-98% pure .999 again with all the gems of the Avengers Infinity Glove plus varied innershank hallmarks…universal Nicola Tesla Stamp 369 and 22K hallmark inner outer handcarved Celtic Saxon/Vikings protection/power sigil, the purity is slightly closer to 23-24k the minor hand made alloy decision was to keep it just strong enough so it doesn’t warp as easy its solid but can be fitted easily if you know what you are doing its between a size 11-12.5 maybe can meet at any reputable jewelers to confirm auth and it fits well, very comfortable for its uniform thickness and wider width than average bands etc fits on most peoples fingers possibly wearable on neck chain great investment. its hard for me to part with these due to sentiment, but i need the extra cash or good trade &bills/cross country move.Id get a lot more on auction so this offer is a deal even at gold prices plus premiums/gems slight cost they are small but still hold value 300-600$ avg; its simple gold items, but valuable investments, subtle and not too flash but chunky and weights to based on the gold 999.9% bullion, Infinity is around 1.3-1.5 ozt pure gold content alone; the gems are all real. while small are authentic and of added values; the naming was of complete accident when the gold-smith and I realized its significance; it is a lightly rustic hammering but other than that it looks almost like a mix of modern and or Celtic artifact based on the bullion quality gold and hand crafting plus the gems alone and more for it being the only one in existence known as it is hand crafted no molds exist for it value& auctions depending - you can verify this just by checking prices/branding, as said I will try to give a good bargain based on reasonable offers (have interested collectors already active) willing to barter/most invaluable so value isnt set im taking the best offer takes.. other items of interest:games etc,Libya/Egyptian Desert Glass (rare pieces of 28 million yrs old contains deep space meteor fragments) Same source as "desert gold" scarab found in King Tuts sarcophagus) and more such as a silver mini knights legging Fluer du Leis that is near pure authentic artifact Musketeers ring & gothic or medieval handmade Christian Silver Cross seem to be from pre 1600-1700s (mid to early) I sold the other types I had, on auction etc. some are very rare, the ones left are priceless. antique 90% US silver merc dimes-M

TRADING or BUYING WELL: inquiry by Constitutional rights & full RPAL: Trade/Buying Small Arm like .38 Revolver/Antique - Discretion is a right too!
Hi there patriotic Canadians, just a brief rundown of what kind of person I am and what I am after; fully understanding our constitutional rights is important as it completely contradicts any or most current thug like bans or officials ways of lying and trying to convince society we have no rights to own firearms responsibly it has been a right under God or a Born unto by every good Canadian who has earned the ability to responsibly use and or own any firearm within reason and certainly if we have paid our dues as those who have spent most of our lives protecting other Canadians where firearms are not used to defuse situations as it is a known fact this almost always makes things worse and more dangerous which is exactly why people like that who are responsible and understand that responsibility don’t need some bureaucrat who has never handled a firearm dictate to me or you if it’s some privilege that mommy and daddy are letting us maybe have sometimes a little; it utter nonsense we are better people and not criminals like the ones who pass these archaic “laws” and criminals making laws clearly don’t make them legal. All of this out of the way I hope I can find and deal with the right people potentially an old timer who has an older collection of my favorites like the antique 6 shooters single & double action, I have been searching for a good condition grandfathered type short barrel 38/22/44/ namely but not strictly I simply require or would like to meet or find a like minded person who is willing to part with a nice potentially original out of their collection to hand down ideally I am after makes and models like the Smith & Wesson/colt single army/Ruger and Taurus model types if we are speaking strictly collectors deep history antiques, Wanting ideally, a good .38 short revolver action that is either already no longer reg. traced or an updated 1930s-1960s model whether it a detective issue snub or a regular issue short barrel 6 shooter that still has a speed loader option or preferably a modified reconstruction and has a side gate loader for single rounds as these are the most utilitarian and essential esthetics. Good or some worn condition I’d expect in fact I prefer a good harms arm to have some wear showing it has reliability and is still fully calibrated and comes as is no need for bells and whistles just a feel good reliable piece that will out last another generation to come. If anyone is a serious owner and collector discreetness is also a right and key in this or any trade and I would hope to keep any dealings private as possible as is our God given rights as RPAL lifetime holders, my offers for a good piece and especially with its holster/belt and any extras I am open to trading some rare estate solid gold signet and precious gem men’s rings which from recent informal appraisals were multiple times the gold values even though the contents and purity are already above any nonsense from a sissy jewelry store chain. My items and rarities are very old well kept and made for a man who wants something of value for example one is a full set Blue Boulder Opal from a small family owned mine in the Australian Outback it’s one of a kind in the world and I am auctioning this one for sure again as last time it had a fins of traction I just did not get enough eyes on it and the auction slot paid for was too short otherwise I was very close to getting an extremely generous offer, but was unable to locate the bidder before it finalized such as are all silent “A”s I also have Solid gold bullion cuff that exceeds 2 ounces of 999.9 of the purest gold which can be shaped, clipped for divided uses even turned into other pieces with its content. I also have constitutional USA silver 90% dimes, and more bullion silver and some very old antique pieces going back hundreds of years. of course Cash talks and I am willing to do a straight cash deal split or show what other great items I have and own including prepper gear wonderful older leather 1800s style jackets and other small priceless artifacts such as meteor fragments and the likes. I’m sure based on my listing of potential items to trade for a decent .38 antique form revolver or something of similar greatness we can come to a more than fair even mutually beneficial trade again I respect peoples privacy and in any deals as long as it’s within our constitutional rights as the Law Abiding Canadians we are and shall always be allowed to do business at our hearts content going far back into our own heritage when trades like these were common place and no jackboot ever had a place nor legal grounds to meddle in our affairs: Remember nothing has changed we have just been told to forget. I’m not going to forget my God given rights and I hope you don’t either we all deserve them as freeborn People’s of Canada and Beyond. Please contact me as soon as you feel like throwing fisticuffs lol or just making some offers
