In Germany you sometimes still see sometimes men with such helmets. In some towns socalled , Historische Bürgerwehren ' exist. Up to about 1850 this had really been militias, but today they are pure ceremonial tradition keepers, wearing historical uniforms, appearing at historical/ Events and parades.
I’m honestly impressed with how “accurate” that revolver is. I have a bunch of 19th century military revolvers and the sights are at best a suggestion.
Your videos are always entertaining, but when you're showing anything German related it seems to become a step above, really cool and they seem to be experts in making cool stuff 👍 The German lines, even though I'm not a German speaker, sounded pretty cool as well and the language itself sounds really cool
@dinsdalemontypiranha4349 I was able to pick up a few things he said, and I figured as much about his German not being perfect, since German is an incredibly difficult language to learn. To me it's probably the coolest sounding language, and I've tried to learn, but I'm probably to old for it now lol
I think that's the first time I have seen Ian get 1st in his division. I mean, he always brings some weird gun, so it hardly reflects his shooting. But I mean, who would have thought first place in revolver division with an 1883 Reichsrevolver! Good job Ian!
(Oompah band music intensifies) Well, you weren’t the first, but you weren’t the wurst. Great to see that a 19th c revolver can still compete. By the way, “backup gun” in German is Ersatzpistole. So this was an EP Wettbewerb.
For me, as a german, it is very funny to hear you talk german (and not too bad, i admit) - I think its a good thing to make a little fun of each other (for example german vs american) i still see some respect for the other side in this. At least, one tries to think or talk like the other one, and to try to keep yourself in perspective of other people or countries, at least can help to understand each other. (excuse my english, as i said, i am german, and its been a long time since school... :) )
This is 10 years after Smith & Wesson Model 3. Sure, some Yanks have made a revolver that ejects all the rounds at the same time for quick and simple reload, but true Teutonic warriors need not such mechanical assistance. Or even ejection rods...
When in 1871 Second German Empire was founded, standard pistol was prussian M50 muzzleloader smoothbore percussion pistol, 15 mm caliber. In those german states, being in 1866 enemies of prussia ( Bavaria, Saxony, Württemberg, Baden and Hessen - Darmstadt) surely also rifled percussion pistols in austrian 13,9 mm existed. But only Bavaria had in 1869 decided, to buy centerfire 11,5 mm Werder rifles, carbines and pistols , all singleshot. When in 1870 war broke out neutral Belgium stopped trading firearms to Bavaria, only few bavarian soldiers had Werder weapons. After war, Mauser M71 became first german sevice rifle. Transforming Werder guns for 11mm Mauser was not good, so Bavaria canceled buying belgian weapons. A large number of carbines had been transformed into pistols, the rifles ( as noted only a part of ordered rifles came to Bavaria) was given to forrestry, prison, customs personal. In Saxony in 1872 or 1874 a strange Revolver in 10,4 mm was introduced, an enlarged S&W Nr. 1 or 2! Caused troubles with German Gouvernement, in Bavaria not , for reason of a bavarian privilege. But when Mauser offered a Revolver , german army decided, to create an own Revolver, the M79 was the result, the M83 the improvement. For test reason, a few Colt SAAs in 10,6 Deutsche Ordonnanz had been bought. The testing soldiers and officers said: A good Revolver! But for reason of either money or national pride, the german Army invention was bought. In german navy the Reichsrevolver replaced Colt Navy and british Adams Percussion revolvers in .36. Was in Prussia called.35, because english inch ( Zoll) is 25,4 mm, while prussian Zoll ( inch) was 26,2 mm. Handle of Reichsrevolver M79 had similar size and shape as M50 pistol.
These revolvers were outdated at least a few years before they were adopted 🙃 revolvers designed a decade before this already had integrated ejector rods (the single action army for example) and revolvers like the Gasser predated this design by several years and were already double action. This is a perfect example of a 'designed by committee' revolver. It just makes it all the more shocking how well Ian did with it
Sehr intressantes Video ❤ herzlichen Dank dafür. Kein schlechter Revolver, jedoch am Design hätte man noch arbeiten können, z.B. der altertümliche Griff,und das kein Hülzen auswerfer unter dem Lauf montiert war,obwohl es diese bei den amerikanischen Modellen zu dieser Zeit standard war,wie beim Colt Army und Navy. Dieser Revolver wurde meines Wissens für die Kavallerie in den deutschen Heeren (Preußen, Bayern, Sachsen etc.) Eingeführt, da die bis dahin noch einen 1 schlüssigen Vorderlader verwendeten,was natürlich nicht mehr Zeitgemäß war. Außerdem sah er einem französischen Beute Revolver sehr ähnlich, den mein Opa als Reichsbahn Soldat 1944 als Dienstwaffe erhielt. Der aber 1945 beim Einmarsch der Amerikaner von einem GI eingezogen wurde.
It wasn't mentioned in the video, so I'll plop it in here: The 10.4mm round is a German version of .44 Russian. So it's decent. Not uber powerful, but no slouch. Nice video, thanks Ian. Gus.
It’s government issue, but maybe not military? If it was for use by police/border guard or similar, then maybe they decided that they wouldn’t be getting into extended shoot-outs? Or usual government bureaucrats trying to save a few pfennigs by removing all optional extras…

19th-century guns don't stress the reload speed because you'll have to wait for the smoke to clear anyway.

Regulars probably place bets beforehand on what gun(s), hat(s), uniform(s), accessories etc. he will bring to any given match.
I know I would.

Jawohl, das war gutes Schießen!
Schießen ( shooting) and scheißen ( shitting) - something flies away.!
