Try here:

Pages 2-3 probably have the parts you need.

Good luck.

I should add that these handguns are considered to be pretty poorly made, and even dangerous to the shooter.

Please, do not use that offensive term. It is racial in origin and denigrating

wrong gun looking at the parts. I don't have intentions to shoot it really but at least i want it working

Try EM-GE (Moritz & Gerstenberger, Gerstenberger & Eberwein after 1939) model 220 KS.
Text on the plate near the grip should be:

Gerstenberger
u. Eberwein
Gussenstadt

It looks a lot like a RG Model 10. You may want to check this Numrich Gun Parts link. http://www.gunpartscorp.com/Manufact...1/10-38279.htm

I have looked at more photos of these nasty little revolvers in the past few minutes than I would ever care to admit.

Arik may have it. A discussion on another gun board was very similar to this one, and the Gerstenberger was the winner. Just speculating here, but ClassIII's model may have picked up a set of "Valor" grips along the way.

As for parts, there is a discussion at Numrich that came to naught. There may not be a parts pipeline for this particular revolver. Also, there was mention of two types of these .22 short pistols: one for shooting, the other as a starter pistol only.

I was amused to find the following description at an auction site:

'This is a good surviving example of the Pre-1968 "Weekend Evening Special" German made revolver. The Gerstenberger & Eberwein of Sussenstadt .22 Short revolver is one of the seldom encountered variants. This one is in good shape and the action works and times correctly. The detachable ejector rod is missing. It is "custom enhanced" by the addition of electricians tape on the grips. Although the lockwork functions fine I am selling this as a collector's piece only and request that you do not attempt to fire it as I have not test fired it and offer no warranty.

Good luck with this. I'm signing off and heading for the tub.

I've seen a few of these over the years, mostly in the evidence vault. One of the models Rohm firearms made was the Valor chambered in .22 short. The 68 on the left side of the frame should indicate the year it was imported.

numerich's parts photos seem to be matching it but the reciever doesn't. Also I found this in a box that my wife's father owned so the gun hasn't been touched or modified since the 70's. it also has a rifled barrel so it can't be a starter pistol.

Is there a loading gate on the right side of the revolver or do you have to remove the cylinder pin and cylinder to reload it?
