Navy Arms, owned and operated by Val Forgett, Jr., was an importer established first in Bogata, NJ., where Service Armament's warehouse was, which Forgett also owned, around 1958. Around 1960 seems to be the year Navy Arms transitioned the address over to Ridgefield, NJ location where the Navy Arms' location was. Val Forgett founded Navy Arms as a subsidiary of Service Armament to distribute the very first replica '51 Navy Revolvers in the U.S. and the replica industry was born and became a very large part of the U.S. and Italian gun industry.
