if this is an original piece it could be from the civil war years, or slightly younger. I have the same pistol with serial number 17358 and I was told it was from about 1862 time frame maybe earlier. hope that helps
Navy Arms imported from a number of manufacturers over the years but most were from Pietta, The only number that fits from Pietta is 1995 manufacture #s 184657 - 210667 You can also look for a series of roman numerals or pair of letters stamped on the frame BF= 1995.
Navy Arms was an importer. It was most likely made it Italy
No
Investarms of Italy
IIRC, Italy
what is this rifle worth?
not likely anyone keeps data on re-pro black powder pistols................
Read the markings on it. If it says Italy or Spain somewhere it is probably a reproduction. If it says BLACK POWDER ONLY, it is definitely a repro because they didn't know that smokeless powder was going to be invented.
50-150 usd
