Hello, new here, my first post
I just acquired an older .36 Remington, marked Navy Arms Ridgefield N.J.
and Made in Italy on the barrel.
I was wondering about the approximate manufacture date of this revolver and who made it? Is Navy arms still in business?
Compared to my Pietta .44 caliber Remington Model 1858, this pistol is very similiar except for being a .36 and the barrel is 1 1/2 inch shorter, measuring 6 1/2 inches as opposed to the 8 inch on the Model 1858.
Is this a reproduction of anything Remington actually made back in the day? or just a "fantasy" piece? If a copy of something Remington actually made, what Model was it called?
thanks in advance for any help.
