Does anyone know when Replica Arms, Marietta OH started importing Italian muzzle loaders.
And did Navy Arms buy them out.
Thanks, Dennis O.

Found this on another forum:
"Replica Arms was one of the major competitors of Navy Arms in the beginning of the replica black powder revolver revival. Replica Arms started in El Paso, Texas and guns of this era will be marked as such. First revolver offered was the 1847 Walker.
Replica Arms later moved to Marietta, Ohio. Revolvers of this era will be marked “Marietta, Ohio". In 1973 Navy Arms bought out Replica Arms of Marietta, Ohio. Replica Arms of this era will be marked Ridgefield, NJ, the location of Navy Arms, but will still have the old Replica Arms Logo. The name “Replica Arms” was eventually abandoned entirely and all guns were then marked “Navy Arms”.
Manufacturer of some of the early revolvers is unknown. They offered revolvers made by Armi San Marco, Uberti, and Pietta. Replic Arms offered several cased sets. All Replica Arms are very collectable and have already seen substanial appreciation.
