The arms dealer WH e.K. offers:Western revolver, Armi Jäger (Dakota) Italy Frontier Carbine, caliber 44-40, replica: Colt M1873The arms manufacturer was active since the early 1950s and produced semi-automatic .22 rimfire sporting rifles and replica "Western" revolvers. Later, it evolved into rimfire and small caliber centerfire firearms (.32 ACP) that were modeled after the appearance of military rifles.  The factory sold most of its designs under the trade name Adler. The Armi Jager production recorded significant sales in Italy and exports to the United States, gaining a reputation for high-quality rifles. Firearm production at Jager ended in early 1993, according to the former owner Mr. Piscetta, due to "lack of qualified personnel." However, the business continues as a gun shop and gunsmith in the town of Basaluzzo in the province of Alessandria.Armi Jager Frontier single-action revolver in .44-40 with a factory-removable stock. These were weapons with relatively low production and are rare on the market. The factory-colored frame still shows beautiful bright colors of the case hardening. The replica of the Colt Single Action Army (also known as Peacemaker, Colt Model 1873 (M1873), SAA, and Colt .45) is the first cartridge revolver with a closed frame manufactured by Colt’s Patent Firearms Manufacturing Company. The six-shot cylinder is rotated further by cocking the hammer, as with all single-action revolvers. Since the weapon was characterized by ease of use and robustness, it soon found success in the civilian market as well. This was aided in the Wild West by the fact that civilian versions from 1877 also fired the cartridges of the Winchester rifle. Cowboys only had to carry one type of cartridge for the two weapons.The 44-40 WCF cartridge (.44-40 Winchester Center Fire) was the successor to the .44 Henry cartridge with rimfire ignition. In contrast to this, it was a powerful centerfire cartridge for its time. The centerfire cartridge developed for the weapon had the same caliber of .44, boxer ignition, and an increased black powder charge of 40 grains. Only cartridges filled with black powder or weakly loaded cartridges with designated smokeless powder may be fired from old original firearms. Smokeless ammunition may only be fired from original Colt Single Action Army revolvers if they bear the proof mark VP (in triangular form) on the trigger guard.Manufacturer Armi Jäger (Dakota) Italy, Nuova Jager S.R.L., Via dell’Artigianato 65, Zona Artigianale D3, 15121 Alessandria ([email protected])6-shot cylinder, fluted8.5" barrelBlued finish, lightly wornCase-hardened closed frameBrass grip frameWalnut grip, slight defect at the grip endLarge sport triggerRevolver for the classes 1880/90Unload lever under the barrelCaliber: .44/40Used good condition, maintained with minor signs of wearValid proof mark* Used with corresponding signs of wear. *  All information without guarantee!Life-threatening due to gunshot injuryWhen handling a loaded weapon, an accidental discharge is possible.> Only use the weapon after you have read and understood this manufacturer's manual in full.> Observe the manufacturer's safety instructions when handling the weapon.> Conduct a safety check before working on the weapon.* Take the opportunity to view in the store.
