I'm no good on Remmies as far as what they are so I need some help. I found this .44 gun in a local shop here in Texas with a price of $425 on it. Unfortunately that's about the only thing on it.
It is stamped on the 7" barrel "Made in Italy". There is no BP proof mark, there is no proof date mark, there is no manufacturer name...ANYWHERE!! There is a serial number on the bottom of the grip strap and to the left of that is what might be an "S" or a similar makers mark that might look like an S. Also I am assuming that the grip is faux ivory.
Here's the kicker, it is also stamped "222 of 1000", telling me that it is probably some sort of commemorative. But if that were the case of a replica commemorative you would think they would put more information on the thing, like what the h... it commemorates!!
It has been fired and appears in good shape overall. The gun shop guy knows nothing other than it's a .44 and it's made in Italy.
I suspect that this thing is nothing special with a very special price on it. But I want to perform my due diligence so I don't find out down the road that I should have picked it up.
Anybody got any ideas??
