Along with make and model it has Miami, FL. stamped on the frame by the hand grip. I have researched this and believe that the manufacture is a West German Company named Rohm Gesellschaft (RG) Industries. I can not find any company with that name in FL. I would like any information on this handgun, in particular, the age and value. Thank you in advance.

Answer:
Stan, Rohm GmbH of Sontheim/Brenz produced cheap revolvers, starting pistols, gas pistols and alarm pistols for the U.S. marketplace during the late 1960s. RG revolvers were sold in the USA prior to the passage of the 1968 Gun Control Act and were imported by a Miami based company whose name I can't recall (hence the Miami, FL stamping). Rohm revolvers are usually identifiable by a round medallion in the grip carrying 'RG' and the model number. The RG-23 is a 22LR revolver with a six shot swing out cylinder and a 1.5 inch barrel. RG values fall in the $25.00 range... Marc
