Question

revolver i have a 40 caliber pistol i bought and would like to know the background and value of it. it is a fie italy. serial no. 4877. can you give me any idea?

Answer
Hello Bryan.You seem to have a 1956 Remington Army model revolver. You say it is a .40 caliber, But the only calibers I am aware of are .36 and .44 calibers. Though I can assure you it is not an original, it is a fine reproduction manufactured in Italy and imported into the U.S by a Florida based company, Firearms Import & Export (FIE) Your revolver was manufactured between 1960 and 1990, when they(FIE) went bankrupt. As far as the value, your's seems to be in good condition, so I would put it between $150 and $200. I hope this answers your question and thank you for asking for me. Charles Gage
