I remember Navy Arms as the first importer of repro revolvers starting maybe 1950s. They produced for a number of years & I'm trying to find when their
operation stopped. I recently got this Remington 1875 repro of theirs, .357 Mag, s/n 050xx, Uberti logo, wonder it's approx. age. Any info appreciated.



I see recently they are starting up again with a Winchester '73 with Turnbulls.

  There should also be some Roman numerals or letters stamped on the frame. That would be a date code. You can match them to the chart below.

  Thanks, found AB on right side next to couple proof marks, so we call it 1976.
