Connecticut Valley Arms Inc. (CVA) black powder rifles typically have serial numbers that can help date the firearm. However, to determine the exact year associated with serial number 0099933, you would need to consult CVA's production records or a reliable source on CVA firearms. Generally, CVA began operations in the 1970s, so a serial number in that range likely corresponds to the production period between the late 1970s and early 2000s. For precise dating, contacting CVA directly or referencing a specific serial number guide would be necessary.
A CVA Revolver with the serial number b52937 could be worth anything. But with your discription it is hard to put a price on it. How much it is worth depends on the condition it is in. It could range from nothing to a couple thousand.

I believe you have a CVA Blazer. The barrel and possibly other parts were made in Spain. The nipple is located in the center of the breech plug-a forerunner to today's modern inline muzzleloaders. CVA was offering a recall on these guns-if you've ever fired it you'll know why. If you haven't fired it I recommend you don't-the nipple could possibly blast free and injure or kill you!
The CVA website has a downloadable user's manual for your rifle. Go to cva.com, FAQs, scroll down to user's manual. Read the entire manual before attempting to shoot your rifle.
