I have 2 Pietta 1860 Armys and one 3rd Colt BP Arms. The 3rd seems to have better bluin/ and finishing. What I do like about these is that even though they are not "Colts" they DO say they are and have Sam Colt address NY City on top of barrel and colt stamped on frame--and they do not say "Black Powder Only" And are no longer made.I would think the Uberti 1860 would look and feel like the 3rd but the Piettas do not. The 3rd should be worth more do to what I just mentioned and scarcity. Right now in this economy it is a supply and demand product. Piettas and Ubertis are still in production.
