Connecticut Valley Arms; A.R.M ID needed
I picked up a Connecticut Valley Arms; A.R.M made in Italy Black powder only 44 reproduction revolver and I was trying to find out what it is worth (Got it in a batch of 3 guns) and I don't want to keep it.
Also, if you know what this is a reproduction of that would be nice to know
Kinda cool (if you are into these and I am not). I did get a can of (real) Black Powder, black powder solvent, caps, wads, ball projectiles and other assorted stuff including a neat leather holster a US cavalry looking thing.
It is not listed in my 2007 Blue Book of gun values so would like an idea what it is worth so I can offer it at the Melbourne gun show Nov 20-21.

That's a replica of a Model 1860 Colt Army revolver, although the Colt had a steel frame rather than brass. The brass-framed revolvers usually sell in the $125 range, + or - $25. A dealer would probably pay $75-$100 with the holster.
FYI: The holster is actually a left-hand model. They were worn butt-forward and the revolver was drawn using a twist-draw.0 -

It's a copy of a Colt Model 1860 Army, however the originals did not have a brass frame. My guess at value depending upon overall condition would be $100-150.

Are you sure of the "ARM" stamping? More likely it is ASM---Armi San Marco.
Do a smart search for CVA 1860 Army revolvers to find out what they SOLD for.0
