TN Mongo, SASS #61450 Posted September 13, 2022 Share Posted September 13, 2022 The link below should help you determine a year of manufacture. Black Powder Arms - Welcome I don't think Navy Arms is currently importing revolvers at this time. You may find the model name in the following link> Navy Arms Past Products Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Abilene, SASS # 27489 Posted September 13, 2022 Share Posted September 13, 2022 I doubt that anyone but Navy Arms could date it from the serial number. The Italian date code mentioned earlier is sometimes hidden. Could be under the trigger guard. I had no idea that Pietta made cartridge guns for Navy Arms, but obviously they did!

Muttley Posted September 13, 2022 Author Share Posted September 13, 2022 Yea I called navy arms and emailed them. their reply… ”With regret no, that portion on Navy Arms closed after the death of the owner andall records were turned over to the Bureau of ATF. We have none of the records.Navy Arms LLC” thought maybe blue book gun owners may have info Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
