In the winter absence of the famed Croy Creek Traders Fair ....I was once again wandering through the local antique mall. Way in the back, there was a glass case with a steel framed .36 navy with a price tag of $160. It of course was laying on its right side. I asked if I could handle it. Two odd things, the hammer is a very strange shape to me (smaller in spur than my Pietta navy model) and the muzzle had almost like a 22° target crown on it, a very well finished one at that.
I'm making the assumption off of my limited and rusty knowledge, that this is an ASP for '81 off of the markings. If someone could confirm that I'd appreciate it
The timing and action are spot on. The cylinder is free of a turn ring and is very clean as is the bore. The color case hardening is a rich dark purple/blue and gold. It had a AH stamp on the right side (1981?) And the DGG circle stamp under the loading lever. Which I believe is Armi San Paolo or Euroarms? What do you think if it could be had for $150?
