A wish for x-mas.
An 1860 Army Conversion with full fluted cylinder.
Is Uberti making these or was it a special one from ArmSport LLC?

LH: This must have been a special order pistol from ArmSport.
Because Bob Millington and the pards and pardettes at Uberti know that original Colt Army conversions were neither fluted nor did they have 4 screw frames.

A very few of the first Richards conversions made for the military had four screw frames. They are extremely rare. I have seen a total of one. I posted a photo of it a year or so ago as it was for sale. No civilan Richards had four screw frames that are known of.
