I have found a whitney replica and wanted to get some opinions. I understand these are no longer being made and always sorta regretted not grabbing one. This one is marked ARMSPORT INC. MOD. 5022 and of course MADE IN ITALY on the left barrel flat. Top flat is 1861 E. WHITNEY .36 CALIBER, right flat has the usual Italian proofs along with the normal BLACK POWDER ONLY markings. The serial number on the bottom of the gripstrap is #31 (in small numerals) and then after a space 387 in slightly larger numerals, which is repeated on the cylinder and loadind lever. On the frame it has the two italian proofs with a box in between that contains the letters AC.
Is there any way to date when this was made, and any opinions to quality? (as far as Italian replicas go)
I don't think it has been fired much if at all, it does show slight handling but nothing detracting. At 200.00 would this be a fair price?
