Who made this 1858 Remington revolver

Just picked up an older 1858 Remington revolver. Very few markings other then the made in Italy, proof marks, for black powder only 44 cal and on the top flat of the barrel it says Navy Arms Co. Ridgefield N.J. Just wondering who made it and the date of manufacture. I’m thinking early 80’s or late 70’s. Thanks

I have a Navy Arms Rem. that was made in the early 1960's. It says A. Uberti on the bottom flat of the barrel, hidden by the loading lever.

AF=1980. If there's a maker's name on it it would be on the bottom of the barrel and covered by the loading lever. Unfortunately having Navy Arms on the barrel doesn't mean much as NA imported guns made by different manufactures over the many years they were active.

Thanks Hawkeye2. Pietta made in 1980. Wasn’t sure what the AF mark was but I suspected it was a date mark. It’s in great shape and a smooth action. I’m looking forward to shooting it. The only other cap and ball revolver I’ve had was a replica brass frame 1851 navy my Dad bought me for my 16th birthday and that was over 60 years ago. Unfortunately it was stolen when my parents home was robbed

by a neighbor’s kid.
