🔎 UNIDENTIFIED Yet another gun found in grandparents stuff.

[jnicholes]

Hi everyone,

Once again, I was going through my grandpas stuff, specifically his guns. I have posted already about the M1 carbine and the Luger P08 I found.

Today, I found this. I know what it is, and how to use it, but I’m curious to know if it is a replica and it’s age.

This is a black powder revolver. 44 caliber. Is there anybody here that is good with guns, and is able to tell me if this is a replica or not? If it’s not a replica, how old is it?

There is one other thing that came with it that tells me a hint of the age. This is on the case.

What do you guys think? Replica?

Your grandpa was quite the guy.

He had a really big habit of collecting stuff when he was younger. A lot of stuff he collected he still has. In fact, when I finally finished counting all of his guns, he has two shotguns, one rifle, and four pistols, I think. I lost count.

I don’t think it’s very old or it wouldn’t say black powder only

Date on the case is probably close. Uberti made lots of replica cap and ball revolvers in the 70s and 80s.

It is a quality piece. Looks like a Uberti repo of a Remington. That would look good in my collection.

Here's the screen grab of the piece.

I concur. It's a higher quality modern replica.

Nice New Model Army replica. Somewhere there will be a date code stamped in a rectangular box, all Italian guns have to have them. https://www.rem870.com/gun-manufacture-date/italian-firearms-year-of-manufacture-look-up/

Looks like a nice quality modern replica. Genuine one would not say "black powder only".

Still a very nice piece and if it was my grandfather's I wouldn't sell it.

Thank you all for getting back. I appreciate it. Sorry it took so long to reply, I’ve had a problem with my email the past few days. I finally got it fixed.

So it’s a replica, huh? Well, that’s OK. Thank you for pointing that out.

One of these days, I’m gonna start a thread to show you all my grandfathers guns. He has some interesting ones. Some are treasures, like the M1 Carbine and the Luger P08.
