Welcome to the site where the owners and members have had it with playing "nice" and being "inclusive" and "tolerant" of points of view that are destroying the fabric of what made this country great. The members here are sick and tired of politicians of all parties lying, deceiving, stealing, and pretending they are doing it all for the good of the country while selling out to special interests who have the set goal of destroying this country. We have had enough of career politicians who use their office only for personal gain, and who refuse to listen to the people who put them in office. The membership is no longer part of the silent majority who play nice and get along while getting screwed by anyone with a loud voice and an agenda. We will no longer allow anyone to piss down our back and tell us it's raining. And we like guns too.

Default Uberti version of the U.S. model 1860 Army revolver in .44

What is a fair price for a used bp pistol, as described above?

I had some cheapo long time ago that was a bp pistol. Think i sold it for less than $100. But Uberti, I would guess maybe up to $200.

As a rough guide, find current new SELLING price, and try to get 60%-70% of that, probably end up letting them go at 50%-60%.

Pistols usually hold their value a little better than long guns as it's easier to judge wear and care. Harder to do with long guns so they don't hold value as well.

Uberti would be among the best.

Current market, selling price new is probably pretty close to MSRP.

Dixie handles the Uberti's, their catalog or their web site would be a reasonable starting place.

If you're selling ... don't, they/it is worth more than you'll get.

If you're buying .... ENJOY!!

Can't help beyond that, my references are either packed or disposed of.

Good Luck!

Regards,

I would go Uberti, Pietta or Pedersoli, in that order. Not a lot of difference in them, but the Uberti is probably the most popular, and would hold it's resale value "slightly" more. All of them are high quality reproductions.

Check Midway USA's prices before buying a new one. http://www.midwayusa.com/esearch.exe...=Search_Button

My uncle has one of those. I've seen 'em go as cheaply as $100 apiece.

This isn't much help, but I'm not up to speed on this sort of stuff. Sorry buddy

I got the Cabela's fall catalog the other day and the 1860 Army model is going for $209. However they don't say who the revolver is made by.

I have an 1858 Remington made by Pietta. It is very accurate, and will amaze most modern shooters on how much penetration that revolver has. I wouldn't want to be the receiving end of a ball being shot out of it.

Me and my little brother wore one of those out when we were younger. It was made in Italy for Lyman. Don't know by who, though.

The Walker Dragoon replica he had was a lot of fun, too. We called it "Mr. Nasty". A couple of bully biker types thought they were going to intimidate my brother and chased him through town. He pulled into a vacant dirt lot and they pulled up next to him in a pickup truck. He pointed it at the passenger and from the way he tells it, the passenger's eyes got big and he hit the floor and the driver hit the gas.

Up untill the last 10-20 years the internal parts, hand, pawl etc. were made to about the same standards as the originals and modern 'fun' use sees a lot more firing than the old ones ever did, so they did need to have regular check ups and parts replacements. The better brands now have components that are better hardened and last longer.

Pretty much the same story a the repro "Colt Single Actions".

Believe it was the 3rd generation "Colt" BP revolvers that were in fact San Marcos components with a Colt quality finish and bluing job, done here in the States. Some arguments about that but the folks that claim that swear by it.

No black powder Revolver can begin to compare to the Ruger Old Army of course, not for quality, reliability, accuracy or anything else I can think of exept appearance and balance. 1851 "Navy" Colts in .36 (and their copies) win the balance and pointability contest walking away.

NJMHO there, pretty general agreement.
