In the context of the RG 38 Special, "RG" stands for "Reichsgewehr," which is a German designation referring to the manufacturer of the firearm. RG firearms were produced in Germany and are known for being relatively inexpensive and commonly used as starter or training guns. The "38 Special" indicates that the revolver is chambered for the .38 Special cartridge, a popular caliber known for its versatility and manageable recoil.
Could be Sauer, Schmidt, Rohm, RG, Gecado, or any of a dozen others.
I also own one (different model #), and my best estimate is that it was produced in the mid- to late-1970's.

The age of a firearm like a 22 revolver model RG-14S can vary based on when it was manufactured. It's recommended to check the serial number on the firearm and research the manufacturing date from the manufacturer or a reliable firearms database.
To determine the age of an RG Model 14 using the serial number, you would typically need to refer to the manufacturer's records or a reliable database that correlates serial numbers with production dates. RG revolvers were produced in various years, so the specific serial number would provide a more precise age. If you have the serial number, you can check online resources or contact the manufacturer for detailed information.
