Well........it ended up being a pietta. I was kinda dissapointed . I don't have anything against Pietta, I just have never owned one and wanted to stay with what has been good to me, Uberti. I guess he assumed it was a uberti because the importer was navy arms. But the surprise was, he had two. So anyway, I went ahead and bought both at 175 each. The date code on both is 1980. I've got them dissassembled now and giving them a good cleaning..they wernt fired but it appears he fired a few caps because the nipples are nasty. I've got them all out but one. as of now. I will post pictures soon. Thank you all for responding.
