Engraved 1858 Remington Reproduction
I've posted this question in the "Black Powder" forum, and I'm posting it here, as well, looking for possible answers.
I've just purchased a fully engraved brass framed 1858 Remington .44 reproduction. Engraving looks to be factory laser done.
No maker's name on pistol. "PN" stamp and "AU" in square box stamp just forward of trigger guard. "A.S.M. Black Powder Only 44 Made in Italy" and serial number B35251 under plunger on barrel.
Gun came in period wood box (walnut)with the usual accoutrements-powder flask, bullet mold, etc.
I am assuming that this is either a Uberti or a Pietta, but I would like to know which.
Can anyone give me any info on this pistol? Maker? When made? Value?
Thank you for your time.

"ASM": Armi San Marco, Italian gunmakers
"PN": Pulvero Negro (Italian for "Black Powder")
"AU": Manufactured in 1989
Value depends on the quality of the engraving, accessories and case. Please post pictures.0 -

I'll take a couple of shots, and see if I can figure out how to post them. Semper Fi, Brother.0 -

This thread will show you how to post pics: http://forums.gunbroker.com/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=259294
Replicas have virtually no collector value per se but some people like them for their aesthetic value or as fancy shooters. We look forward to the pics.

Spider: I can't seem to get this done. I bought the pistol as a "fancy shooter" like you say. I'm a Civil War re-enactor (Confederate) and the pistol goes with my re-enactment armament.
Wish I could show you a photo. She's a real beaut.0 -

I knew you could do it! It will make a pretty shooter for sure but, like I said, replicas have a very limited collector market. I would expect yours with the accessories to bring around $250-$300. 0 -
Thanks for all the info, Spider. FYI-I traded a knife (the knife was given to me) and $70.00 for her! Hooo-rah! 0
