Help identify pistol

[Kruzn]

Picked this up at my LGS today. No brand or model markings. Has a serial number, but no other clues. Not sure on caliber.

It appears to me to be a replica kit gun of some type and looks like it was never fired. The grip has been hand-carved.

I have never seen one like it. I thought it was pretty cool, so it followed me home.

Any help is appreciated.

Your pistol is a Classic Arms New Orleans Ace. Uses a .440 patched round ball.

IIRC they usually had CMC marked on them in addition to the serial number.

For more information do a search here on the MLF and on the internet.

Thanks!

Any idea on value?

Have not followed values closely but guesstimate is $125 to $175 depending on where sold and interest. One recently sold on MLF for $135 shipped and insured.

Thanks. I paid $100, so in the ballpark. I'll have fun fixing it up a bit and probably shoot it.

That was my very first pistol. I bought it out of the back of a field and stream magazine when I was perhaps 12 or 13years old. Dirt cheap. Quite useless. You can't even sight down the barrel because the hammer is in the way. I fairly quickly up graded to a Navy arms confederate 51 navy.

Actually, it uses a .420" to .424" prb, NOT .440"

Been there done that, best of luck
