Fire it, or have a gunsmith pull the bullets.
About $400, new
1873 colt single action army revolver
No sn data available in the public domain that I am aware of.
The Navy revolver was not .44 caliber (it was.36 caliber), and was not made in 1843. Without seeing the gun, will tell you it is likely you have a reproduction of the Colt revolver made in Italy by Pietta. You will need a hands on appraisal by an experienced dealer or collector. Modern day reproductions are in the $200 range, depending on condition. PS- Ormsby invented the machine that performed roll engraving. While he was an engraver, his actual engraving was for printing plates for bank notes. Not guns. We have been asked about a revolver with THAT serial number at least 5 times, reinforcing the belief that it is a reproduction.
not likely anyone keeps data on re-pro black powder pistols................
Pietta (an Italian Company).
Daniel Pietta was born on 1986-12-09.
Sorry- you have a contradiction in terms. Established in Italy in 1960 by Knight Giuseppe Pietta, F.A.P. F.lli Pietta is a maker of reproductions of classic firearms. ALL of the F.lli Pietta guns are modern reproductions.
The LeMat revolver (notice I spelled it differently?) was made from 1856 to 1865. In 1985, the Pietta company in Italy began making modern reproductions of the LeMat. If you search for LeMat in Wikipedia, there is a good article on this very interesting handgun. The Virginia Historical Society has a LeMat carbine (short rifle) on display at their museum in Richmond VA.
