What is a BKA 98 pistol and how much is it worth?

Answer 1

Replica Cap and Ball Revolver

It's a modern REPLICA of a .36 caliber 1860 Griswold & Gunnison pistol made by Denix of Spain. A brand new gun retails for $84.00 for the antique gray finish and $90.00 for the black & brass finish. Some people mistakenly think replica guns marked BKA with a number inside a diamond were manufactured by a company named BKA in Czechoslovakia which supposedly supplied guns for Hollywood in the 1950's. Such a company never existed. It was probably made up by someone wanting to make their gun seem rare and worth more money than it really is. The guns are actually made by Denix of Spain which was founded in 1966. The mark BKA is due to an old German law which stated that all the replica weapons should pass a test of the Federal Criminal Police Office Bundeskriminalamt, abbreviated BKA.
