Any info will be appreciated.

looks vintage, but the PN stamp on its cylinder implies it is a modern Italian replica

Back off and give a picture of the whole gun...It is similar to an 1860 Army Colt but they typically didn't use brass in the frame, several Confederate arms makes did though to conserve steel...Google Griswald pistols, they were made in the South during the War of Northern Aggression...

It looks old, but who knows. It's local and was wondering what to bid on it. Too far away to look in person though.

I would not pay more than $300 total for that entire cased set with accessories and accoutrements

 

[Caniborrowsomeammo]

Thank you for your opinion. I'll keep the bid low.

It's a brass framed Italian import replica manufactured in 1972. The frame to barrel gap scares me in pic #3. It's also in a non-HC .44 caliber. The last photo showing the muzzle indicates either extreme holster wear, or more likely defarbing. Cylinder engraving also doesn't look right...should be the Ormsby roll engraving of a naval battle scene. Proceed with extreme caution. Personally, I would pass on this unless buying it for decor and not as a shooter.

 

[Caniborrowsomeammo]

That's where I'm being cautious, more like decor, especially with the old Percussion cap tins in there.
Thank you for the replies.

Also, the muzzle is too close to the LL latch...that, and the fact that there is zero crown on the muzzle leads me to believe the barrel has been shortened

 

[Caniborrowsomeammo]

Thanks Captain.

That is a modern reproduction made to look old, someone will get burned on this one!

load It up tie it to a tree put a string on the trigger give it a pull and if it doesn’t blow up have fun with it, Lite load of course. A lot of Italian manufacturers built what ever they felt like weather brass frame or steel octagon barrel or round it did not matter to them no historical accuracy from there point of view, just what could be sold I guess or what ever parts they had on hand.mix and match sort of thing.

I dare say it was manufactured in the year 1972 by the XX8 and probably an FIE product, not sure. The proof mark on the frame looks like an Italian mark of Gardone Italy
Agree with captainkirk on this one, proceed with caution.
