Navy Arms original,....? e.g. Val Forgett
Contemporary " Reorganized Navy Arms" ....? e.g. Val Forgett JR.
There's 65 years of Italian Manufacturing behind the name and to say that quality has ranged around a bit, would be putting things mildly.
If there's a visible gap / opening between the hammer and the block at full cock, it's one of those weird Pedersoli "Stand off replicas," with the pins spaced further apart than the standard #1.
There WERE a few problems with that particular action evincing a surprise auto-eject function,when pushed hard with competition loads. One .45-70 that wandered in from New Mexico was prone to blowing back to full cock on a regular basis,.....spooky, that.
That said, properly tuned / sicked up, and at the price quoted, that would probably be fun iron to play with,...PARTICULARLY in .50-70.
Good, and generally under rated cartridge, that.
