Anybody Ever See One of These???

beautiful pistol

I have been looking for a picture of this pistol and the history and value of it for quite sometime. I have one identical to it, except that mine is stamped Replica Arms Inc Marietta Ohio. I bought it at an auction and it is unfired and in perfect condition, I believe mine is uberti made. Replica Arms was bought out by Navy Arms so I am told. If anyone has anymore history on it I would really like to hear from you, Thanks in advance

I don't believe Dixie ever called the gun a Tingle....Bob Tingle from Indiana made the first ones, also made a sideslapper single and over under shotgun, and a nice halfstock rifle..I've owned, at one time or another, one of each. All well made, all accurate (took husband half of the husband/wife state title with mine).
If it was made in Italy it is a copy. I had one of those also. Don't remember it being as accurate as the real Tingle but could have been me.
Just picked up a TC Patriot for a song.....probably because the stock is cracked and it has no sights. Anyone got a set of sights, used stock? The bore is perfect. Triggers and lock are crisp.

eBay would be your best bet for locating Patriot parts.
