The RCMP Firearms Reference Table records the Reichsrevolver 1879/83 (revolver, chambered in 11mm German Ordnance Revolver, made in Germany) as Restricted in Canada, under FRN 44491. Classification attaches to the specific firearm rather than the model name, so variants with a different barrel length, overall length or action can carry a different class. Confirm the record matches the firearm in front of you, and verify with the RCMP Canadian Firearms Program before any transfer.

What licence do I need to buy a Reichsrevolver 1879/83?

A restricted PAL, and the firearm must be registered to you before you take possession. Transport generally requires an authorization to transport, and if this is a handgun the October 2022 transfer freeze applies to most transfers between individuals.

What is FRN 44491?

FRN 44491 is the Firearm Reference Number the RCMP assigns to this Reichsrevolver 1879/83 record in the Firearms Reference Table. Quoting the FRN is the unambiguous way to identify a firearm in a transfer, a registration or an import, because model names are reused across variants that are not classified alike.
