the Italian cap and ball re-pro revolvers do not command a high price.
if in good condition between $125 and $200.......that is an estimate.
not likely anyone keeps data on re-pro black powder pistols................
Read the markings on it. If it says Italy or Spain somewhere it is probably a reproduction. If it says BLACK POWDER ONLY, it is definitely a repro because they didn't know that smokeless powder was going to be invented.
Black powder 44 cal. Limited Edition, 1 of 5,000. F.llipietta-made in Italy, #sg4784. What is the market price today? Thank you.
Chances are that if you overload the charge in a revolver style black powder pistol, you can blow up the cylinder or blow the barrel off the end of the gun.
Yes it is concealed, but not illegal because black powder firearms are not considered a "firearm".

The BATFE website has the answer.
In the technical sense no it is not loaded via the muzzle of the gun, black powder revolver is accurate as terms go, but they do fall under the blanket of "muzzle loader" in general terms.
You need to consult a Black Powder loading manual
There are none produced that I know of, a 209 primer would be over kill in a revolver due to the small chamber and lower amounts of powder.
black power or cartridge rounds? Colt made the first "practical" revolver, so this was the first commercially successful cartridge revolver. I can't say about black powder... but you should read this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Revolver <><><> The first Colt revolvers were black powder handguns. The self contained cartridge was invented later.
Most recommend is 3F powder, either true black powder or the "synthetic" or black powder substitute equivalent and between 25 and 30 grains should due nicely.
