I also have 3 C&B revolvers made in Italy. 1851 Navy .36 cal with brass frame by Pietta, 1860 Army .44 cal marked C.V.A. , and a really nice 1860 Army with cavalry shoulder stock .44 cal by Uberti. These are all early production from the 70's and have great fit and finish (not like some of the current offerings you see at cabellas etc...). They are ALMOST as sexy as Lugers and feel great in the hand when shooting. However, they are SO under valued in the marketplace. Was recently trying to sell them (to fund a 'scope and mount for my Swiss K-31) and was amazed at what people expected to steal them for. They will STAY in the safe ( along with the Morgan and Peace dollars) until better (or worse) times. Buy Silver Now !!
