Rast & Gasser 1898
The Rast & Gasser Model 1898 revolver was designed by August Rast and made from 1898 to 1918 in Vienna, then the Austro-Hungarian Empire, today the Republic of Austria. Around 200,000 were made in that time and they were one of the most advanced revolvers of that era, built with a great quality of production. The Model 1898 is a solid-frame, single/double action revolver chambered for 8mm Rast & Gasser ammo (8.1x27mm, 8.2x27.5mm) with 8-rounds cylinder, loading-gate through which individual cartridges are loaded, smooth bore and lanyard ring. The 8-rounds cylinder could be removed by pulling down on the trigger guard and withdrawing the axis pin/ejector rod. With 8mm Gasser ammo the M1898 develops 787 fps (240m/s) of muzzle velocity. Its ammunition is similar to but not interchangeable with that of the 8 mm French Ord. The M1898 was adopted by Austro-Hungarian army and it was a sidearm of army officers in WWI. In WWII it was widely used in all countries that were once part of the Austro-Hungarian empire and also in Italy. The interesting part of the revolver is that after pulling down the rear of the trigger guard one can open the side plate for inspection, and when the loading gate is open one can't move the hammer, additional safety not accidentally firing because of no firing pin - something common in today's revolvers. The frame is marked 'PATENT RAST & GASSER WIEN' above the trigger. Serial numbers are: Wn15: 32550 - 61716. Wn16: 68881 - 113303. Wn17: 124808 - 150618. Wn18: 165998 - 187391. Hv32: 196739. ML marked revolvers: 74517, 99652, 113303, 150618, 165998, 166229, 171955, 173253. The Rast & Gasser also manufactured variant of M1898 revolver with grip safety. The M1898 was copied in Belgium by Manufacture d'Armes Liégeoise in 7.62mm Nagant caliber.
