Omega Model 3 .22 LR?

[Chiro75]

I unexpectedly came into a .22LR revolver this weekend. Brand is Omega, Model 3. Cleaned it up and it seems well-built. I could only find references to an Omega Model 100, which someone said was unsafe to shoot, but anyone have any info on this thing?

If it's made by Armenius, it's total and complete crap.

I've had blank guns made better than these. Seriously.

Does it look like this?

Arminius was a German company that started back into business after WWII. The gun you have is a solid frame gun and as long as it doesn't have any serious problems like an out of time cylinder it is probably ok with standard velocity 22s. Arminius made a large range of handgun from the inexpensive through some very nice single actions and larger caliber revolvers. Have it check by a good gunsmith and go with his recommendation as far as it's shooting safety.

It does look like that picture, but it has a black frame and cylinder (sort of like a PVD type of coating). I took it to the range yesterday and shot about 200 rounds through it without a problem, so it seems OK.
