Neither the Standard Catalog of Firearms nor the Blue Book of Gun Values lists any revolvers under Richland, only shotguns imported from Spain or Italy. Judging from the values these two references assign to the shotguns sold by Richland, I would suspect that they are rather utilitarian. They should work well but not be particularly well-finished or highly decorated. I would assume that any revolvers they imported would be of similar quality.
Richland Arms Company was in Blissfield, Michigan from 1960 until 1983. Founded by Thomas Hoagland of Richland Furs after a trip to visit to the gun factories in Spain and Italy. the Hoagland family still resides Blissfield. s

The Richland Arms Company was based in Blissfield, Michigan from the 1960s to the mid 1980s. The company imported a range of Spanish and Italian shotguns and pistols. They are no longer in business. Value will depend on exact model and condition, but somewhere around $400 would be a starting point.
Richland Arms was an importer in Blissfield, Michigan, until 1986. The guns they imported were mostly made in Spain or Italy. You probably have a replica of some Civil War era revolver. If it's Blonde colored wood it's probably a Richland Arms Co. Kentucky style pistol. I have a Richland Arms Flintlock rifle called the MICHIGAN rifle in .45 cal. and a wonderful rifle.The arms are rare now and were inported in the 1960's to early 70's. I assume the company is out of buisness now as there's no info to be had on them. The Richland caplock rifles were dangerous so I'm told by a master gunsmith and a friend. The Yorktown was named for blowing off the drum, stripping the hammer and chipping wood out of the breech area. .
The company went out of business in 1986.
Made in Germany
Name used by the Iver Johnson Company from 1910-1935 for lesser quality revolvers made by their company.
