Looks like we share the same good taste in single action revolvers.

Forward Observer - SMALL WORLD! I sold guns in a local sporting goods store from 1970 and of course I had to have some for my collection. Then I got married in 1981. I reluctantly sold my collection to keep it out of the hands of the kiddies. I retired in 2004 and my wife told me I needed to get a hobby (she was thinking golf?) and I told her I would find something! She sputters every time a new gun comes home. "But honey, you told me I needed a hobby and the kids are all grown!"

A fine collection of Confederate revolvers sir! I especially like the high polished frame of the Spiller and Burr. Very nice!

What is the revolver on the lower left ---- the one that looks like a Dragoon?

 

[Ephraim Kibbey]

Is it a Tucker Sherrard?
Is it ASM or Uberti?

It's a Tucker Sherrard & Co., made by Uberti in 1979.

Hey, Mike, nice to see gun porn back! I've seen that FIE stamp on "inexpensive" potmetal revolvers--like .22's and .38's back in the '70's, but never on a BP gun...that looks like a nice Remmie! .44 or .36? I keep looking at the back of the grip and thinking that's a Pietta "tail" like their older Colts had...

 

[Brad_Bradsher]

To keep the thread going until somebody more knowledgable identifies who made Mike's Remmie, here's my Uberti Walker with it's freshly vinegar-deblued cylinder:

 

[Brad_Bradsher]

So, curiosty aroused about FIE, Mike--Florida Import/Export brought in a bunch of stuff from Italy in the '70's...some Pietta, some Uberti, some marked "PR"...that according to old (2008) THR posts, nobody is sure WHO made them...here's one:

Looks like a nice Remmie, always fun to have a mystery to track down!

 

[Brad_Bradsher]

So, Mike, compare your Remmie's "grip tail" to my recent Uberti...there is a very distinct "flair" to yours...is that a clue, guys?

Who made Mike's Remmie?

 

[Fingers McGee]

It is widely believed that the PR marking stands for Pierino Ruschetta F.I.E. is the acronym for Firearms Import & Export located in Hialeah, FL until 1990. Would be interested in what the date code is?

It looks like a .44 and has that weird purple finish on the frame.
