ShooterTom Posted January 29, 2011 Report Share Posted January 29, 2011 He is looking to sell it. All the information I have is its marked. "Black Powder Only". On the bottom of the butt of the gun is stamped Italy FIE 4183. I might be willing to buy it but I have no idea what is a fair price to offer?

99-100 Posted January 30, 2011 Report Share Posted January 30, 2011 Best bet is to take a look at gunbroker or auction arms. These thing are going up in price (wish I'd bought one years ago when they were half the price)Depending on how you feel you could start @ $200 but with the box and what looks like a bullet mold 250 is probably legit.

karlunity Posted January 30, 2011 Report Share Posted January 30, 2011 Hello Tom The pistol is I think a "Pietta" new the pistol runs about 150 to 200 bucks. But the case is very nice and I would pay an extra $25 to $50 for it. The only thing to look out for is that it looks to have a brass body and that can be a problem, I have read, if the last owner shot too hot loads. The mold, around $25 and $25 for the flask and if the flask is full and I see a tin of caps, another 10 bucks.

FC Posted January 31, 2011 Report Share Posted January 31, 2011 Hate to say this, but FIE is a crap shoot. I have one that I bought off Auction Arms, a little pocket pistol. It works fine now, but it required machining to be able to put the pin in it. From what I read online, Fie went broke around 1990. "Firearms International Export (FIE) was not a manufacturer but an importer of inexpensive and frankly very poor firearms. Many of it's products came from small shops in Spain and Italy, but with FIE it could come from anywhere, including Pakistan and the Phillipines. IMHO one should steer clear of any firearm with the FIE Marque." This was from, "Answers". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
