Adams or Kerr Revolvers-Reproductions?

[Poor Private]

Does anyone know if the Adams or Kerr revolvers are being reproduced by anyone? Or has been reproduced, if so who is doing it? And how good are they?

There was somebody making reproductions of the Adams revolvers several years ago in Germany. I don't remember the price but I do know you could buy a shootable original more cheaply that the price for the repro.

I take by the lack of responses that No there aren't any being made. Too bad, since they look like an interesting pistol to try out .

Only Adams-replica I'm aware of was made by Andreas Baumkircher in Austria. To the best of my knowledge they are no longer being made. About ten years ago he was selling them for around US$2800. He used to have a website, but I'm unable to locate it at present.

Doing a quick Google search on this, I came across this old post which references this particular maker, and an American distributer, whose contact info from 1998 is listed (while it kind of looks like a ML forum, it doesn't appear to be active, so I hope it's ok to post):

I've heard rumors of a Kerr by one of the Italian firms.

FWIW, the Baumkircher-Adams is superb, but very tricky to shoot. I would up sticking to a Hege-Remington for match work.
