Another closet queen.
Navy Arms Replica Arms Pietta transition revolver. 1858 New Army Remington in 44.
Got this at auction. Thought it was just a Pietta 58 for my wall collection. Well it doesn't go well with my Civil War collection. With all the stamping on it. (I found another one)
Did some googling and found some info on it and the American Rifleman magazine.
Along with this tidbit:
Original Replica Arms imported revolvers will be marked REPLICA ARMS CO., EL PASO, TEXAS. When Replica Arms was sold the first time and moved to Ohio, the revolvers were marked REPLICA ARMS, MARIETTA, OHIO. The next marking change was after the sale to Navy Arms with “REPLICA ARMS RIDGEFIELD NJ” on the barrel, Ridgefield being the home of Navy Arms. After a short period of time, this was changed to “NAVY ARMS RIDGEFIELD NJ” on the barrel, but retaining the Replica Arms Logo somewhere on the gun, the frame, under the loading lever, etc. Replica Arms first used Armi San Marco as its manufacturer, and new info also indicates that Palmetto was also a supplier, being very active in the early 1960’s as well. Navy Arms used Uberti in the beginning for the 1851 Navy, Leech & Rigdon, Remington New Model Army, and the Griswold & Gunnison. Replica Arms was the first company to sell the 1847 Walker, the Dragoons, the Baby Dragoons, and the Pocket Models. These were made by Armi San Marco and possibly by Palmetto.
Asking $285 shipped.
Still looking for an 1849 Pocket Colt. Steel frame preferred.
