Marushin Gold 7.5 Inch .357 Magnum

Anyone have any info on this one, couldn't find any info/images online? Picked it up at a local gun show, full metal and wood 1054 grams.

When the trigger is pulled the hammer does go back a bit but doesn't click and the cylinder will rotate on each pull of the trigger. However it won't cock and click, the hammer can not be pulled back all the way as it bottoms out on another piece inside. I have taken pictures of the internals in the link above.

My question is: Is this the way it's supposed to be/ was made? or is there something not right with it.

Thanks.

Zartan,

I found a "hand" is missing so that it won't rotate a cylinder. Also, hinge part attached to a hammer looks broken and loose? so that it won't properly connected with a hammer spring I suppose. It should work as normal pull, rotate, hammer back and hit motion.

The cylinder still rotates.  The hammer spring looks to be too short or I can't figure out how the hinge part stays connected to the hammer unless there is a piece missing.  The way the hammer spring is in now the inner part of the hammer bottoms out on it when pulled back not letting it pull all the way back.

Shazhib,

You are correct the piece that attaches the hammer spring to the hammer is broken and another piece thats attached to the hammer is cracked.....anyone have any spares kicking around?

Pictures of the parts needed are in the first two pictures in the following album:
