What is a bka 217 pistol and how much is it worth?

Answer 1

It's a modern REPLICA of a Smith & Wesson Schofield revolver made by Denix of Spain. A brand new gun retails for $112.00 for the nickel finish and $108.00 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 weapon should pass a test of the Federal Criminal Police Office Bundeskriminalamt, abbreviated BKA.
