This 1851 .44 (slug) Navy revolver reproduction was purchased in 1976 (presumably manufactured then too) and I have recently inherited it. This revolver has not been "blued", nor has it ever been fired. Anyone have any idea what it is worth? I live in the greater Vancouver area if location affects price. Thanks in advance.

I sold one for $150 a few years back, good shape, excellent shooter.

I think a new one sells for around $275.00

Marstar lists them for 289.00 but they're sold out. Shooter's Choice lists Ubertis in .36 cal, not .44, for 355.00. You probably have a Pietta or a Armi San Marco. An Armi San Marco is the least desirable repro revolver. If its "in the white" is it a kit built pistol? 200.00 would be fair.

Looks like an unfinished kit. IMHO its not worth a lot, as is.

Cool!!
Is there any way its a origional??

Either / or Its very neat to see all the parts!!

One day I think just for kicks I am going to make one out of wood.


Thanks for posting the picture!

No there is no way it is original as I have the purchase papers and styro box from 1976. I do not believe it was a 'build kit' either as the cutouts in the styro box would not allow for packaging of individual parts. The "parts list" sheet states it is an "ARMI SAN PAOLO" design. Thanks for the input guys, I appreciate your help.

Armi San Paulo, Armi San Marco. Same same. Its worth whatever someone will pay you for it. I'll give you 150.00.

Thanks again. If it is only worth that much, I think I'll hang onto it and use it to whack prairie dogs up in the interior.

I guess it should be mentioned that it's a restricted firearm.
A kit would have come assembled, but not well fit or finished.
