One of my cousin wanted to buy a handgun. A dealer has a revolver made in Spain by Largo company. It has 6 inch barrel, fires .32 cal rounds, and has 1929 marked on barrel. The cylinder swings out like those of S&W revolvers.Asking price is 2 Lacs. If any member have information regarding genuineness,perfomance would be greatly appreciated. I'll try to post pics by monday as I have to visit the dealer on monday.

Largo would refer to the calibre and not the make.

Vineet,
If I were you, I would urge my cousin to consider buying a new IOF .32 revolver instead of going in for some vague old Spanish piece costing 2L .
best,
Rp.

As the Doc says, old Spanish guns can have decidedly "iffy" quality... not worth it IMHO. Go for an IOF or for that kind of budget range he can also get the trusty 'ol Webley. Both would be much better options.
