Can anyone tell me about this gun? It says LIBERTY ARMS NAVY MOD.1851 on the top of the barrel and MADE IN ITALY- ,and CAL.44 on the left side of the barrel. It also has 3 symbols on the right side closer to the trigger one of the symbols has a PN under it and one of them is XXVI. Any help would be great.

  It's a Italian made replica of a Colt black powder revolver. Although the Colt Model 1851 was a .36, your replica is in .44 Caliber. Many firearms manufacturers in Italy have made similar replicas over the years, starting in the 1950's. The Roman numerals "XXVI" are the coded date of proof, the year is 1970. Check the on-line auctions for the selling prices of similar revolvers, to get a idea of the ball park value of yours.
