I had a carbine (2" shorter ) in 44/40 Marked: Navy Arms - Ridgefield, New Jersey. It was made by Uberti though.

Lucky Deuce:
  I have one with a serial number in the 500's.  It is .44-40.  I love it.  It shoots way better than I can ever hope to be able to...  I love it.  The only problem I have is that the rear ladder sight is loose and floppy.  I bought a new ladder sight for it but it is made for the new Uberti's so the dovetail needs to be re-cut.  I am hesitant to change it since the old sight is a sort of buck horn and the new one isn't...

Driftwood Johnson:
The Ridgefield, New Jersey location was their offices and showroom. I drove there in 1968 to buy my first handgun, a brass framed 44 cal 'Navy' Cap & Ball revolver. They only marked the barrels with the New Jersey location, I'm pretty sure they did not make them there.
