Italian Reproductions of Civil War Era Revolvers

My dealer called cimmaron and the price to him on the open top with snake was $590. Add shipping,dealers fee,and taxes it's not cheap. It's really a sharp looking revolver.

The Cimmaron site lists prices under "Product Information - Click here" under each item...The Open Top conversion without snake is $562...with snake is $800...

There are two other slick looking Richards & Mason conversions...

Kind of reverse engineering...Uberti made the C&B revolvers; now they make the cartridge conversions of them...

Here is an original Colt and an Italian copy. Can you spot the repro?

This must be a trick question...I'd say the little one is the repro, only because it's so much smaller...

...And because Cimarron makes an 1849 Pocket Model that looks like the big one...
