The barrell says F.I.E. Miami Fla. The left side of the berrell says Kal 357 magnum and the left side of the frame says H W 357. And the handle says Arminius. Can someone help me out here.

Thanks
Kerry

    Kerry,,,, Welcome to the forum...

    Your gun was made in Germany and imported into the US by F.I.E. in Hialeah, Florida. From your description it sounds like the model 357TB or the 3572.

    The value of both these models is about $200.00 in new condition.

    Kerry be sure to check that gun before and after shooting. I also
    had one, but in .44mag caliber. I had a lot of trouble with screws coming loose after shooting,even using threadlocker. I sold mine and
    purchased Rugers and have never looked back. Just thought I'd put my
    2cts in there. Good luck with the .357.

    Hello, that make of gun was sold in K-mart in 1982. I have one that I need parts for. Will you sell yours if you still have it? Thanks, Dan.

    Had a 44mag w/7 1/2" barrel that was well made and well finished. The frame case color wasn't authentic though. As I recall, some small parts interchanged with the Colt SAA.
    The distributor,FIE in Fla went out of business in the '80s and someone else picked up the parts business. Herman Weirauch is still in business in Germany. He might be contacted for a parts source.
    The revolver is light for full power 44 Mag ammo and perhaps that is why screws loosen but they also loosen after just a little shooting on the SAA Colt.
    I regret selling that gun
