Yep. You're not crazy. It's an 1860 Army. Euroarms, I think.

Guess i'm missing sumthing
Yes, its a 1860 replica
The BIN is outragous but don't blame the seller for asking it
With the box & stuff i'd say its about a $350 + package
One them "You never know" things

Yea, I have done some reading on ASM and have come to the conclusion that I do not want one.

I wouldn't be so harsh on ASM. I own a few revolvers and have not had a problem with any of them. Not any more issues than others have expressed with Uberti or Pietta. Sometimes it is just the revolver.

Now as for paying this ridiculous price, it is up to the buying public to bring him back to reality.

I just bought an 1861 Sheriff for $150. The seller told me at first he couldn't sell it for that amount. They had $170 in it. Can I help what they paid for it?

Who knows what this man may have paid for the revolver in the first place. And he wants his $50 back for the box and the $30 for the flask. And a $100 for his pain and suffering. You see all his legal troubles add up.

Course being a ASM don't rule it out
I've had one bad Uberti :barf:
With the BIN i'm guessin his reserve is at least $500 - too high
I'll hold with my gud buy at $350 with all included - Not a steal by any means but a gud buy

"ASM" to the seller means, "Ain't so much."

I am crushed. I will just take my little 1861 .44 and go cry. She always thought she was a good as all those other fancy revolvers. Me and my ugly duck will just have to hide in shame and plink at some tin cans.
