Old Rossi lever

So, my dad just bought a Rossi lever gun at a gun show this weekend. I don't know anything about them. Here is the deal. He says it's stamped, made in Brazil on the barrel, and the serial number is 000xxx
Any idea how old this thing is?
Oh yeah. .44 mag.
Thanks

well...this is the .44 magnum auto mag....it shoots a 300Gr. cartridge, and when properly used......it can remove the fingerprints...

Sounds like it may actualy be a GEC 92 copy marketed by Rossi? Interesting find!

Well,,,,, the REALLY old Rossi Puma's had a cat's head stamped on the action flat. Look on the tang under the lever, it should have the importers name there (Interarms is older than Braztech)
