Although almost identical to the Model 27, the Model 68 has some slight improvements, such as an adjustable rear sight and a ramp front sight.
Rossi Search License From SWThis weapon is a close copy of the Smith and Wesson Model 36 and was produced under license from SW on SW machinery in Brazil.Copyright 2008-2019 Congregate Media, LP Privacy Policy Terms of Service Digital Point modules: Sphinx-based search. When I go to the Blue Book of Gun Values, it talks about the Rossi model 68, and no other Rossi models fit the description of this gun. The Blue Book doesnt talk about a model 68S, but I saw a website that said that the model 68 was produced from 1978 until 1985, then the model 68S was produced from 1993 until 1998. The left side of the barrel has the AMADEO ROSSI S.A., the right side of the barrel has.38 SPECIAL. Rossi Search Serial Number AA132502On the frame on the right side under the cylinder is the INTERARMS stamp, then the serial number AA132502. On the frame behind the cylinder yoke, it looks like M685 (Rossi didnt make a Model 685), so Im thinking its M68S. On the cylinder yoke is 5 9 88, and that also appears on the bottom of the frame when you remove the right grip. Also on the frame under the right side grip is the number 82 above and to the right of 5 9 88. On the frame under the left grip, it looks like XII.91 maybe, but the numbers to the right of the decimal look like they werent struck well just the tops of them are visible. Also there is a number 6 perhaps above the XII.91. I have photos below. I know Remington puts different codes to identify barrels, chokes, the gunsmith who inspected it, repairs, etc. I was wondering if anyone knew what the markings on this Rossi were, and perhaps an approximate year or date of manufacture. Since Taurus bought Rossi, they dont answer any questions about the Rossis that were imported by Interarms. Thanks for any input. The country of Brazil likes to buy stuff made at home for police and the military. The interarms imports are quality revolvers for the price I purchased a pair of them in the 1980s a model 60 copy and a 2 inch 357 model 66 copy. I believe that interarms imported them until the early 1990s and then they got an company importer in the USA. They started making lever action rifle with the puma label and the revolvers started just being Rossi. No import stamps. The he best way to get an import dated would be to get in touch with interarms. They would be able to tell you went they recorded the serial number. Be not ashamed to say you loved them, though you may or may not have always. Take what they have taught you with their dying and keep it with your own. And in that time when men decide and feel safe to call the war insane, take one moment to embrace those gentle heroes you left behind. Major Michael Davis ODonnell KIA 7 Feb 1978 Reply With Quote. I did call Taurus customer service number, but they dont have any information on Rossis before they bought the company. I tried to look up Interarms, but they went out of business in 1998. The current Interarms is associated with High Standard, and Tantal, AK74, and AKM rifles. The time now is 00:33. INGO Mobile Style Contact Us INGunOwners Site Map Terms of Service Top.
