Butt-end of grip frame on the Navy revolver says "Made In Italy" -

Navy Arms black powder from the (probable) era when these were made might be from a few different makers, all in Italy; generally would have been (most commonly) from Uberti, Pedersoli and/or Pietta - which is still pretty much the case today. They're pretty-good grade, nicely-functional (depending on condition and maybe a bit of "tuning") "reproduction"-styled pistols/revolvers and rifles/carbines, made to a sale price/market. Value, of course, depends on condition and who wants them - they're desirable enough for shooters, though no real collector value to speak of. These look like they need a bit of simple clean-up, otherwise probably good to go.

Hope that might help a bit - best of luck with your sale...:)

McQuade is correct, it's a Pietta due to the "FAP" in the diamond and from what I could find online the AB places the Pedersoli's date of manufacture in 1976.

And if Chootem were closer to Greensboro I would already own these. It's a very good price.

C.S.
