    Question Unmarked New Army Replica?

    I have one of those 1858 Remington New Army Replicas with minimal markings that I have been trying to identify, date, and value. It has the # "052674" stamped on the butt, the # "461" stamped on the barrel under the head of the cylinder pin and under the left grip, the word "nueva" cast under the right grip, and after a 3rd & much closer inspection, a mark that looks like a rectangular shield with crossed (swords?) next to the letters "PN".
    Any opinions? A photo can be seen here:

    Welcome to GunLoads, Richard P.

    Could it be a Uberti repro? I know next to nothing about percussion revolvers except how to load, shoot, and clean them. None of the books I have here list them. That one looks like it has seen some serious shooting. I'll bet someone around here can give you an answer though.
    If I can see it, I can hit it. Now, where did I put my glasses?

    The shield shape and "PN" seem to be the Italian proof marks, although incomplete. When I get down to more "official" sources, they all seem to say that there should be makers & importers marks clearly stamped.

    While that is certainly true for anything made recently, who knows what they stamped on them in the 60's & 70's? I'm assuming it was made to underprice the Rugers. How is the quality?

    I have one built in the early 80's in Italy with only a Number on the cylinder.
