Hey Guys,
I picked up this pistol a few years ago and don't know much about it. I would appreciate help in identifying it, and confirming what I think it is.
Here what I think I know: .31 caliber, It says Replica Arms company, Marietta Ohio on the side, and I believe I can make out s. Marco on that same side just under the front of the cylinder. No other writing, just proofing marks.
My questions are:
1) Is this a replica of a real pistol, or one of the made up calibers/sizes? Is .31 caliber right?
2) Are they are safe/reliable pistol to shoot?
3) What is current market value? I don't want to sell, but would like to know out of curiosity. I got it a few years ago and paid around $75 for it, plus replacing some internal parts, puts me around $100 in it. It does have some knicks and bruises.
4) Italian made?
Thanks for the help!
