That came out in the mid 70's It is a Classic Arms "New Orleans Ace" It came in a .44 smoothbore and a .45 rifled version when they rifled the barrel it was a .45.You can see the C in the photo from there add for Classic Arms. You can still get them from Dixie. The hole classic line was medium to poor qualiy. Some guys doctored them up and gopt them to shoot pretty well. I always liked those guns.

New Orleans Ace. Navy Arms bought them out in the early 80s and sold off the existing stock. They are back again but I don't know who is making them. They aren't authentic and the quality leaves a little to be desired.

I believe DGW still sells them as a kit for around a c-note.

My Cousin and I each built one (smoothbores) from kits shortly after I got out of High school. It came out nice and I still have mine but you couldn't hit a Bear in the @$$ with it at ten feet!...BPS
