I know exactly what you are talking about, I have a repro Colt 1860 Army. Here is the story as far as I know i: Colt sold two different lines of repro BP revolvers. The first line was sold in the early 70s. The guns were made in Italy, by Pieta, I believe and have Itallian markings. Later, in the late 70s, early 80s, they had another line. parts for these guns were made in Italy, but not proofed because they were exported as parts only. The parts were assembled with some American made parts and case hardened and blued at the former Iver Johnson company. the finished guns were sent to Colt for inspection and preparation for shipping in Colt boxes with Colt literature. These guns have only Colt markings. An 1860 Army of this late production in perfect condition, in the box, unfired with all paperwork is worth about $500. Start deducting for anything less than perfect. I have one of these guns, fired once, with paperwork, %90,. I want to sell it for $375. I hope that answers your question
