My only brass-frame C&B revolver at the moment is a Navy Arms Reb, a fair copy of a Griswold and Gunnison. It was cheap and I wanted a Confederate-style revolver. I wouldn't pass up a Spiller and Burr at the right price. Since I have several steel-framed guns to shoot, my favorite being the 1860 Colt repros, so the brass-framed one(s) are shot a little and enjoyed a lot.
