Well, not new, just new to me. I have been wanting a Stainless Steel Uberti Colt 1861 Navy for many moons, The second Generation Colts are a bit out of my price range - they only made 8 and the last one sold at auction last fall for $22,000+; you heard right $22,000+. So, I've resigned myself to being satisfied if I could find one of the Uberti made SS 1861 Navies that were made back in the mid 1980s - quantity of which are unknown. Up until last week, I had been searching unsuccessfully for over 4 years for a SS 1861 Navy. That search ended when Sltm1 sent me a PM with a link to the Z-Idaho internet classifieds. Seems there was this fella with a Uberti SS 1861 Navy that he was trying to sell & Sltm1 was wondering if I had bought it yet. I wasted no time to email the seller & tell him to mark it sold & to give me his address so I could mail him a Postal MO for the Navy & shipping. He was averse to doing that saying that there were "too many scams out there" & would only do a face to face for cash greenbacks. Enter Sltm1 again offering to do the deal for me for the agreed on price plus gas & shipping. How could I refuse (rhetorical question)?
So now I am expecting delivery of my own Allen Firearms/Uberti Stainless Steel 1861 Colt Navy thanks to Sltm1.
Many, many thanks to Sltm1 for his assistance.
Here are a couple pictures:
